After shooting more than half-a-dozen short films, he directed his first full-length film romantic comedy Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi based on one of his own short films.

Early life

Balaji was born on 25 May 1987 in Tiruchirappalli.^[2] He pursued his schooling in Campion Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School, Tiruchirappalli, and later joined the Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering in Chennai for his higher studies, albeit he had decided in 10th class already that he wanted to become a director.^[2] He recalls that his parents bought him a handycam in his third semester,^[2] and he made his first short film called Velicham,^[3] which was also sent to film festivals and won.^[4] Although he had initially planned to complete his education before following his passion and pursuing a career in filmmaking, he did not want to "wait for too long" after making Velicham. After convincing his parents, he discontinued his engineering course two years later and went on to join the L. V. Prasad Film and TV Academy in Vadapalani, Chennai to learn editing and sound design.^[2]^[3] He also studied acting at Alchemy Institute, Adyar, Chennai.

Career

Balaji began his career as an assistant director for the Tamil film called Kulir 100° (2009). While the film was in its pre-production stage, he got the opportunity to join the Gateway to Hollywood, a show that was aired in Sony TV. His short film Treasure was featured in the contest and Balaji became one of the 6 finalists of the show.^[2] He later joined as an assistant director for Sudha K. Prasad's Tamil film Drohi (2010),^[2] while simultaneously participating in Kalaignar TV's first season of Naalaya Iyakunar.^[2]^[3] He directed five short films namely Kodi, The Juniors, Addi Tail, Mittai Veedu and Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi for the show and was one of the winners of the series award for consistent performance.Шаблон:Citation needed

Among his works, Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi was most popular and went viral on YouTube, garnering overwhelming response.^[4]^[7] Cinematographer Nirav Shah saw the short film and initiated the idea to make it into a full-length feature film.^[2] Balaji took three months to develop the script, while Nirav Shah reached out to producers and actors, introducing him to producer Sashikanth of YNot Movies.^[2]^[8] Siddharth, who too was keen on turning the short film into a feature film after he had seen it, entered the project, playing the lead role besides co-producing the venture.^[9] The film was partially reshot in Telugu given Siddharth's popularity. The project was completed in a record 36 days,^[3] and the film was released in February 2012. Opening to highly positive critical response, the film went on to become a sleeper hit.^[10]

Balaji Mohan collaborated with Dulquer Salmaan for his second directorial venture, a bilingual titled Vaayai Moodi Pesavum in Tamil and Samsaaram Aarogyathinu Haanikaram in Malayalam. The film marked Balaji Mohan's debut in Malayalam cinema and Dulquer Salmaan's debut in Tamil cinema. His third film was Maari, starring Dhanush and it released in July, 2015. Next up he will be teaming up with Actor Dhanush again for Maari 2 a sequel to Maari.^[11]

He then produced, written and directed a web series titled As I'm Suffering From Kadhal, in which he also played an important role. The series was made in Tamil and dubbed in Telugu. It was released in Hotstar Originals on 15 June 2017.Шаблон:Citation needed
