Career

After completing a diploma at the London Film Academy in 2005, Chakravarthy Ramachandra debuted in the film industry as a supporting actor in the Telugu comedy film Mr. Errababu (2005), where he also doubled up as the film's line producer. In December 2005, Ramachandra launched his first production through the Ideaz Production banner with Shashank and Rajeev Kanakala selected for the lead roles. The project, directed by another debutant named Chakravrathy, was later dropped.[1]

He continued working in the technical crew of Telugu films, notably serving as the line producer in Arya 2 (2009), Anaganaga O Dheerudu (2011) and Oosaravelli (2011), and developed his knowledge of film-making. Ramachandra was then set to make his debut as a co-producer with Sukumarudu (2013), but later opted out of the venture.[2] He later set up his own production house, Bad Monkey, to produce the Telugu and Tamil comedy films Antha Scene Ledu and Nondi Kuthirai (2014) starring Navdeep and Shashank in the lead roles.[3][4][5][6]

Ramachandra first became involved with Y NOT Studios during the release of Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi in Telugu as Love Failure. His work on the film as an executive producer paved way for him to join Y NOT Studios' other projects. After working as the executive producer of Guru (2017) and Vikram Vedha (2017), Ramachandra became the company's chief executive officer and co-produced films such as Tamizh Padam 2 (2018), Game Over (2019) and Jagame Thandhiram (2020) alongside the studio's founder S. Sashikanth.[7][8]

Personal life

Ramachandra married Puja at the Taj Deccan, Hyderabad on 23 August 2013.[9] [10]
