Actor Ravi Mohan has been officially welcomed into filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj's Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) with the upcoming film Benz, just days after the actor made headlines by announcing that he would not release any of his films until his divorce from estranged wife Aarti Ravi is finalized. Lokesh shared a post welcoming the actor to the universe.
Days after announcing that he would not release his films before resolving his divorce from estranged wife Aarti Ravi, actor Ravi Mohan was welcomed by filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj into the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) with Benz.
On Sunday, Lokesh took to social media to welcome Ravi Mohan on board the project. He tweeted, "Welcome to the universe @iam_RaviMohan sir," along with hug and heart emojis.
Recently, Ravi Mohan addressed a press conference during which he announced, "Firstly, what I want to say is that my films will not release on screen until I get my divorce. I am not going to act because I cannot act. I cannot bear the unnecessary insults I am being subjected to."
"I know how to set right those things that are associated with my work. On the day I get my divorce, on the day my personal life becomes alright, and on the day this cyberbullying stops..." he went on to say.
When asked if he would complete the films he was currently working on, Ravi Mohan explained, "I will not behave in such a manner that causes difficulty to anybody. I can say that much. Even if I have taken money, I will make provisions to return it and only then leave. So, don't worry. Nobody will be affected by me."
For the unversed, Ravi and Aarti tied the knot in 2009. The couple announced their separation in 2024 after the actor moved out. Their divorce proceedings are currently underway in the Chennai Family Court.
Keneeshaa, who was rumoured to be in a relationship with Ravi, initially claimed that she was only his healer and friend. However, in 2025, the two were seen attending a wedding together wearing matching outfits.
Recently, Keneeshaa shared a cryptic post on social media, writing, "I walked into this story with love. I walk out of it with silence," hinting at a possible breakup.
