Career

Jawahar, an erstwhile assistant of Selvaraghavan, began working on his first film starring Dhanush in December 2004. A remake of the Telugu film Arya (2004), the film was later put on hold and restarted at a later date.[2] As a result, his debut venture was the 2008 film Yaaradi Nee Mohini, starring Dhanush and Nayantara, which was a runaway hit. The film was a remake of the Telugu film Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule, directed by Selvaraghavan.

His next two films Kutty (2010) and Uthamaputhiran (2010), both again featuring Dhanush in the lead role, also became successful.[3] The former was a remake of Arya, while the latter was a remake of the Telugu film Ready.

In 2014, Jawahar began work on Saamiyattam, a remake of the Telugu film Swamy Ra Ra, produced and featuring Srikanth in the lead role, but it was later shelved.[4]

He then moved on to direct a remake of the Malayalam film Thattathin Marayathu, titled Meendum Oru Kadhal Kadhai, in 2016.[5]

In 2021, Jawahar made his first original script with the social drama Mathil, which starred director-actor K. S. Ravikumar in the lead role.[6]

His next project is Thiruchitrambalam, which is his fourth collaboration with Dhanush.
