Jayam Ravi played a bubbly young boy in 'Santosh Subramaniam'. He is now going for an image make-over with 'Peranmai' in which he plays a forest officer and the movie is directed by Jananathan.

The movie is being shot in Ambasamudhiram and its adjoining forest areas. It is reported that state-of-the-art facilities are being used to shoot the stunt sequences.

Jayam Ravi has learnt archery for the movie. Hitherto known for being part of movies on family values, Jayam Ravi is optimistic of an image make-over.

'Peranmai is the apt title. It is about valor and struggle. Jayam Ravi is also the apt choice', say sources close to the director.
