== Film career ==

=== As an actor ===
Ravichandran started his film career in the early 1980s and acted in many movies along with well-known actors of the [[Kannada]] industry, including [[Vishnuvardhan (actor)|Vishnuvardhan]], [[Ambarish]], [[Prabhakar]] and [[Rajesh (actor)|Rajesh]], produced by his father. He had made his first on-screen appearance as a child artist in the 1971 movie ''[[Kula Gourava]]'' starring [[Rajkumar (actor)|Rajkumar]] which was produced by his father. His first movie was ''[[Khadeema Kallaru]]''(1982) (as one of the villains). His major commercial success as a leading actor came from ''[[Premaloka]]'', a romantic comedy movie starring [[Juhi Chawla]] in the female lead role. He became noted for his mesmerising looks and charismatic style.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} He was at his peak in the late 80s to mid-90s.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XppFbXFcMbE |title=Premaloka- nodamma hudugi |via=YouTube |publisher=dumbee}}</ref> After ''[[Premaloka]]'', Ravichandran starred in several films, most notably ''[[Ranadheera]]'' (which was a remake of [[Subhash Ghai]]'s ''[[Hero (1983 film)|Hero]]''), ''[[Anjada Gandu]]'', ''[[Yuddha Kaanda]]'', ''[[Ramachaari]]'', ''[[Halli Meshtru]]'', ''[[Gadibidi Ganda]]'', ''[[Annayya (1993 film)|Annayya]]'', ''[[Putnanja]]'', ''[[Sipayi (film)|Sipayi]]'', ''[[Yaare Neenu Cheluve]]'', ''[[Mangalyam Tantunanena]]'', ''[[Preethsod Thappa]]'' and ''[[Malla (film)|Malla]]''.

His role as an innocent village bumpkin in ''[[Ramachaari]]'' was featured at the Ontario Film Festival. He has stuck to mostly stereotyped roles: a police officer (''[[Shanti Kranti (1991 Kannada film)|Shanti Kranti]]'' and ''Abhimanyu''), lover (''Premaloka'', ''Anjada Gandu'' and ''Preethsod Thappa''), pop singer (''[[Yuga Purusha]]'' and ''Gadibidi Ganda''), rustic ''[[Putnanja]]'', ''[[Sipayi (film)|Sipayi]]'', ''[[Chikkejamanru]]'', ''[[Halli Meshtru]]'' and ''[[Malla (film)|Malla]]'', and lawyer (''Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara'' and ''[[Yuddha Kaanda]]'').<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/Ravichandran-to-quit-acting-for-his-children/2013/05/29/article1610014.ece |title=Ravichandran to quit acting for his children}}</ref>

===As director===
Ravichandran's first film as a director was ''[[Premaloka]]'', which he also produced and starred in. It was made with a budget of one [[crore]] [[rupees]], the most expensive Kannada film in its time.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} It starred [[Juhi Chawla]] as the female lead. ''Premaloka'' also established [[Hamsalekha]], who would team up with Ravichandran for a long period.<ref>https://www.deccanherald.com/content/17050/friends-no-more.html</ref>

===As producer===
Ravichandran's produced ''Prema Matsara'' in 1982, under the banner "Ravi Cine Creation".<ref>{{cite web |title=Kannada star V Ravichandran gets emotional on reality TV show |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/kannada-star-v-ravichandran-gets-emotional-reality-tv-show-72374 |website=[[The News Minute]] |access-date=16 May 2020}}</ref> He announced the date of release with a list of theatres on the Muhurth day itself. The movie broke-even financially for him.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} He then produced ''[[Khadeema Kallaru]]'' and played, for the first time, a small role as an actor. The movie flopped.{{Cn|date=June 2021}} He also produced a Hindi movie with Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi ''[[Inquilaab (1984 film)|Inquilaab]]'', which was a remake of the Kannada movie ''Chakravyuha''.<ref>https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/crazy-star-wears-many-hats-with-gusto/article6401874.ece</ref>

In 1991, Ravichandran released ''[[Shanti Kranti (1991 Kannada film)|Shanti Kranti]]'',<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0173189/ |access-date=27 February 2012 |title=Shanti Kranti}}</ref> the costliest movie ever made in South India till then. The film was shot in over four years, with a budget of 40 million rupees,{{Cn|date=June 2021}} and was simultaneously made in [[Kannada language|Kannada]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and [[Tamil language|Tamil]]. The movie was a commercial failure due to its slow-paced storytelling and Ravichandran suffered huge financial losses.{{Cn|date=June 2021}}
