Adhik RavichandranTamil Playback Singer – Song Lyrics & Movies

Adhik was born on 17 January. He is the son of Ravichandran "Ravi" Kandaswamy, who has worked as an assistant director for nearly two decades but has not made his directorial debut. Because of Ravi's struggles in the film industry, Adhik's mother forbade Adhik from pursuing that as his career, though he still remained passionate. Adhik aspired to study visual communication in college but instead took up engineering to appease his mother, though he began writing scripts from the first semester to the final.

After graduating college, Adhik trained as an assistant director under Major Ravi before making his directorial debut with Trisha Illana Nayanthara (2015). The film was a major success. However, his next film Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan (2017) was a box-office bomb, and he accused the lead actor, Silambarasan, of interfering creatively and causing problems during production. He later wrote the dialogues for the Tamil-dubbed version of the Hindi film Dabangg 3 (2019).

Adhik's third film as director, Bagheera (2023), did not succeed commercially and was criticised for relying on misogynistic tropes. However, Mark Antony, which released later the same year, revitalised his career as it grossed over ₹100 crore (equivalent to ₹109 crore or US$11 million in 2026) at the box-office, worldwide. After Mark Antony, Adhik directed Good Bad Ugly (2025), which grossed over ₹240 crore (equivalent to ₹248 crore or US$26 million in 2026). He is also confirmed to direct Dare Devil.

In December 2023, Adhik married Aishwarya, daughter of actor Prabhu. They have a son born in May 2026.
