Selvaraghavan is the son of film director Kasthuri Raja, elder brother of actor Dhanush and has two sisters, who are both doctors. On 15 December 2006, he married actress Sonia Agarwal, with whom he had previously worked with on three films. After their two-year marriage Sonia Agarwal and Selvaraghavan filed for divorce with mutual consent in a Chennai family court on 9 August 2009.[2][3] Two years later, Selvaraghavan married Gitanjali Raman, daughter of former Advocate General of Tamil Nadu P. S. Raman. She had worked as his assistant director in Aayirathil Oruvan.[4] The couple have a daughter named Leelavathi.[5] The couple blessed with a son on 7th October 2013.</ref> [1]/
Film career
Selevaraghavan's first film as a story writer was Thulluvadho Ilamai. His first venture as a director Kadhal Kondein was both a commercial and critical success. He started directing films after doing a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering.
After discussions which had been ongoing for a year, Selvaraghavan announced a collaboration with Vikram in January 2008 and worked on the film's script for a year.[6] The project, dubbed by the media as Sindubad, began shoot in September 2009 in Ladakh, with Swati Reddy signed on as the female lead with Ismail Merchant as music director. Filming continued in caves near the Himalayas with the team facing trouble with the freezing weather conditions, while Selvaraghavan announced that the next schedule would be held abroad in the United States.[7] However in February 2010, the film was momentarily shelved and the project subsequently never took off again after the producer Singanamala Ramesh walked out.[8] Soon after in June 2010 another project announced by Selvaraghavan, a bilingual featuring Rana Daggubati set in 50 BC, was also postponed after the pair felt it was too early to work on the film.[9] In early 2011, Kamal Haasan agreed terms with Selvaraghavan to be the director of the actor's venture Vishwaroopam.[10] Months into the collaboration, he was ousted from the project, with Kamal Haasan py at the director's commitment to the project.[11] Selvaraghavan later noted that he expected creative control of the project, which Kamal Haasan was unwilling to offer him.[12]
