The topgun commercial director of Tamil cinema, K.S. Ravikumar dons the greasepaint occasionally and has made his name as a solid character actor.  He currently has a powerful role in the new movie  'Palli Paruvathile' directed by Vasudev Bhaskar.

In 'Palli Paruvathile' K. S. Ravikumar reportedly  plays an upright village school headmaster  who grooms 2000 children in the right path, but fails in his life as his son turns out to be a ruffian.  KSR was so taken in by Vasudev Bhaskar's film that on the last day of shooting he predicted that the film will win a National Award and also returned the salary that he got.

'Palli Paruvathile' has Sirpy's son Nandhan Ram as hero while Venba who acted as a child in 'Kattradhu Tamizh' is the heroine.  Urvashi, Thambi Ramaiah, Ponvannan, Sujatha and R. K. Suresh are also in the cast.
