The script has the flavor of a Bhagyaraj film sir. I play a girl who enters into an arranged marriage. The plot revolves around the couple’s first night. While the groom’s grandfather has reason to prevent the newlyweds from going through with their wedding, the bride’s aunt will have her own reason to make sure it happens. While the couple tries to achieve their goals in the bedroom, each other’s relatives try to help them from outside.”
From January 2022, he is shooting for Tamil films ‘Yenni Thuniga’ and ‘Vattam.’ She has also appeared in various TV commercials such as Naachiyars and Jeyachandran Textiles.
Controversy
Sorry for the Movie Scene
In 2017, she apologized after she was brutally beaten by netizens for a scene in the Tamil film ‘Yemaali’ (2018) where she was seen smoking, riding a bicycle, and taking off her clothes. Later, on one of his social media accounts, he apologized and said that the scene would not be included in the film.
Criticized by Filmmakers
In 2020, he was criticized by Tamil filmmaker ‘En Peyar Anandhan’ for showing a star attitude. While talking to reporters, the maker said,
Athulya had only acted in one film at the time of signing this film. Later, he acted in films of popular directors like Susienthiran and Samuthirakani. After that, he began to think that he had become a major star. Every time our film won an international award, Athulya refused to post it on his Twitter page. Also, he did not cooperate with any promotions, such as posters and teasers. Also, we have planned to shoot with Athulya Ravi for the poster design at the time of release of the film. But despite asking him to appear for the shoot for more than 20 times, he kept avoiding us, giving one reason or the other. Even now, he is not doing anything towards the release on November 27.”
The makers further added,
For what it’s worth, he’s not a big star yet. His film was not successful. We are disappointed that an up-and-coming artist like Athulya, who has a lot of time to go, is setting a bad example. He proudly describes himself as ‘Naan Kovai Tamil ponnu’ in his Twitter bio, but strangely this same Athulya Ravi is the one who is ruining the chances of Tamil film producers. There are often accusations that Tamil girls are not given a chance. But we sent Athulya Ravi only because he is a Tamil ponnu, and now, we have been pushed to the stage where we have to beg him to come to the promotional event. To be honest, Athulya, who only wants to talk about the films he’s done with bigger directors, avoids mentioning the small-budget films that offered him opportunities when he didn’t have any films in hand.”
