Early Life

Ravi was born in Mumbai, India to Harishchandra Jadhav, and Shubhangini Jadhav. He studied Visual Communication and Graphic Design at Sir J.J Institute of Applied art[6]. Soon after he graduated, Ravi began his career as a creative director and copywriter for a leading advertising agency.

Career

Ravi made his directorial debut with Marathi musical drama Natarang in 2010, which is based on the 1978 novel Natrang by Dr. Anand Yadav. His next film was Balgandharva. It was screened at the Cannes and Venice film festivals.[6]

Ravi achieved an image of a director who does not shy away from bold topics by making films on sex education (Balak-Palak) and the life of nude models in fine arts (such as in his 2018 film, Nude).

He also directed Tomorrow's Decided, a music video for Pentagram, an electro-rock band based in Mumbai.[7] He also wrote lyrics for Saazani, a Marathi single, sung by Shekhar Ravjiani,[8] and directed the music video.[9]

Controversies

Ravi Jadhav's movie Nude was pulled out from the Indian Panorama section of the upcoming International Film Festival of India (IFFI). The Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India explained that the film was not complete and hence did not have the censorship certificate. The director maintained that he had made a sincere movie. The Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) set up a special jury presided by actor Vidya Balan to view the film. It was then passed without any cuts and given an A certification.[10]
