Kannan Mohan

Kannan Mohan has this knack for picking projects that don’t just blend into the background. The guy’s filmography? Kinda wild, honestly. Let’s talk about “Santacruz” from 2022 first—man, that movie had people chatting for weeks. Not your typical drama; it’s more like one of those slow-burn stories where the characters feel way too real, almost uncomfortably so. You can tell Kannan loves digging into complicated people, not just the usual cardboard cutouts. Now, “Jack & Daniel” (2019) is a totally different beast. It’s got this slick energy, with crime and action vibes that make you want to root for literally everyone—even the so-called bad guys. Kannan’s role there? He brings in this low-key intensity, the kind that sneaks up on you. You don’t even notice how invested you are until suddenly you’re yelling at the screen. Then there’s “Adipoli,” which is coming up in 2025. People are already hyped and honestly, can you blame them? If the rumors are true, it’s going to mash up genres and throw Kannan into some totally new territory. He never seems to play it safe, always picking scripts that have some sort of twist, or at least a heart underneath all the drama. If you’re trying to pin down his style, good luck—he jumps from grounded realism to larger-than-life roles and back again, and the dude never phones it in. The projects he picks, they always end up being the ones people remember, even if they don’t break the box office.
