==Career==<br />
Ramesh Selvan made his debut as a film maker with the action film ''[[Ulavuthurai]]'' (1998) starring [[Vijayakanth]] in lead role before making the revenge drama ''[[Jananam]]'' (2003) starring [[Arun Vijay]]. He then began directing a project titled ''Runway'' with [[Prashanth (actor)|Prashanth]], but after a few schedules it had run into financial problems.<br />
<br />
Ramesh announced that he would be making a comeback in early 2010, revealing that he was working a project titled ''Kalavaram'' with [[Sathyaraj]] in the lead role. ''Kalavaram'' was revealed to be based on a true story, that of the biggest riot that has ever taken place in Tamil Nadu, with Sathyaraj playing a deputy police commissioner who heads an investigation commission.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/D-Ramesh-is-back-with-Kalavaram/articleshow/5907141.cms|title=D Ramesh is back with Kalavaram - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/cp/2010/05/14/stories/2010051450801000.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100520021332/http://www.hindu.com/cp/2010/05/14/stories/2010051450801000.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-05-20 |title=Getting violent |date=2010-05-14 |work=[[The Hindu]] |accessdate=2019-07-17}}</ref> The release of the film was pushed back several times, leaving the project which began in 2010, in [[development hell]]. Plans to release the film in August 2013 were also unsuccessful due to a high number of other films seeking theatres for release.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/august-release-schedule-news-tamil-niblCOafehgsi.html|title=August release schedule|website=Sify}}</ref> Ramesh revealed that the producer of ''Thalaivaa'', Chandraprakash, asked him to delay the release of ''Kalavaram'' to get more theatre space for his film. In return, Chandraprakash reportedly told Ramesh that he would purchase and distribute his film under his Sri Mishri Productions banner. Ramesh then alleged that the producer backed out of his commitments.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.in/articles/502021/20130828/thalaivaa-producer-release-issue-vijay-thalaiva-chandraprakash.htm |title='Thalaivaa' Producer Lands in Another Trouble? - IBTimes India |publisher=Ibtimes.co.in |date=2013-08-28 |accessdate=2019-07-17}}</ref> The film eventually released in January 2014 to below average reviews. In mid 2012, Ramesh was signed up to direct a film titled ''[[Thalaivan]]'' featuring newcomer Bas and filmed it after finishing work on ''Kalavaram''. In June 2013, he issued a press release distancing himself from the project, indicating that he had suffered health problems as a result of his strenuous work on the project and that he had to complete his other venture, ''[[Kalavaram]]'' (2014).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://tamilwire.net/34580-director-ramesh-selvan-opts-out-of-thalaivan.html|title = Tamilwire.net -}}</ref><br />
