Director R. Ravikumar made head turns with his innovative and entertaining SciFi movie 'Indru Nettru Naalai' starring Vishnu Vishal and Karunakaran. He has dedicated over three years to his next mega project'Ayalaan' starring Sivakarthikeyan with music by A.R. Rahman.

Ravikumar has just recovered from a bout of COVID 19 and has written about his harrowing experience on Facebook. He has stated that he had very few symptoms like a common running nose and only as a precaution he tested and the result was positive. His little daughter Narumugai aged three also was infected but luckily his wife Priya tested negative and her proud husband has shared that it was her hard and dedicated nursing that has helped them both to recover.

Ravikumar has praised his doctor Varaprasad for his timely deduction of COVID 19 and then treating him and his daughter accordingly to keep them out of danger. The talented filmmaker has advised people not to wait for symptoms to worsen and test and isolate in the beginning stage itself to prevent serious complications.

Another piece of valuable advice from Ravikumar is during the infection to not watch television or social media news that reports a large number of deaths as it causes mental stress and worsens the physical condition too. He has concluded his post by once again emphasizing that the need of the hour is early testing and isolation to prevent further spread and beat the virus.
