Mohan Rajan is an Indian lyricist working onTamil language films.[1][2]
Hailing from Meikalnaikanpatti nearThottiyam,Trichy, Mohan Rajan arrived in Chennai in 2001, hoping to become a lyricist in the Tamil film industry. However, he failed to get a breakthrough and instead qualified himself by pursuing master's degree in Tamil literature and later media arts atLoyola College, Chennai. Mohan Rajan was launched as a lyricist byJames Vasanthan during the making ofYathumaagi (2010). Soon after the release of the song, he became acquainted with Vasanthan's friend, the film-makerSasikumar, who began to regularly hand lyric-writing assignments to Mohan for his projects.[3] Notably, he wrote the song "Jilla Vittu" fromEasan (2010) and then "Kondaadum Manasu" fromSundarapandian (2012) for Sasikumar's projects. Mohan studied in PSBB school, Chennai
Mohan Rajan's breakthrough song was "Kanave Kanave", a pathos song featured inBejoy Nambiar's anthology filmDavid (2013), featuringVikram andJiiva. The song was composed and sung byAnirudh Ravichander.[3][4] Since his breakthrough, he has worked on albums includingIlaiyaraaja'sTharai Thappattai (2016), the composer's thousandth album, whichBala chose him for after being impressed with his work inChandi Veeran (2015). He later wrote popular songs such as "Yaanji Yaanji" inVikram Vedha (2017), as well as songs inKodiveeran (2017) andPadaiveeran (2018).[3]
