Rahul Ravindran is an Indian film actor who has appeared in Telugu, Tamil and English language films. He made his debut in the Tamil film Moscowin Kavery (2010), before playing leading roles as a man with cerebral palsy in Vinmeengal and as a mechanic in Soorya Nagaram. He has since gone on to make a career as a leading actor in the Telugu film industry.
Rahul Ravindran was born and brought up in Chennai, though his roots are from the Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu. After graduating from Vidya Mandir Senior Secondary School he earned his bachelor's degree in commerce. He then went on to obtain a Masters in Business Management, and this was followed by a brief stay in Mumbai where he was an Assistant Brand Manager for a leading media company
It was in Mumbai, while dining at a restaurant, that he got an offer to audition for a television commercial to be directed by Dibakar Banerjee of Khosla Ka Ghosla fame, and the success of that fetched him more commercials. During this period he was also dubbing in Tamil for cartoons and children's shows being aired on television channels, notably being the Tamil voice of the Red Ranger in Power Rangers - Mystic Force and the White Ranger in Power Rangers SPD.
He then quit his job and came back to Chennai to try to find work as an assistant director, but before he could do so Director Ravi Varman's team members saw his ad work and called him to audition for Moscowin Kavery. The film introduced a host of new actors including Samantha, with music carried out by Thaman, then making his debut in music composing. However, due to Ravi Varman's date conflicts with his projects as a cinematographer, the film languished in development hell, eventually releasing in August 2010. The film gained unanimously poor reviews from critics, with Rahul winning mixed reviews for his performance. While a critic from Behindwoods.com noted that "he looks every bit the suave software professional", other critics saying that his performance was "wooden" and that he "smiles too much and looks like he could do well, given the chance".
