Dr Leela Mohan pursues acting aspiration with latest film Naayi Ide Echarike

Dr Leela Mohan has spent 18 years as a physician, but now he’s turning his focus to cinema. Having always nurtured a passion for the arts, Dr Mohan is stepping into the spotlight with his latest film Naayi Ide Echarike (Beware of the Dog) set for release in December. "I’ve always believed it’s never too late to follow your dreams," he says. "When the opportunity came, I grabbed it."

His journey began with a special role in the TV series Baduku (Life), which reignited his love for acting. "It felt like a dream coming true. I was nervous at first, but once I was on set, I realised how much I loved it," he recalls. This was just the beginning. Dr. Mohan soon made his feature film debut with Kraurya, followed by roles in GadiyaraPutani PanturuRavana, and Ugra Avatar, where he played the role of 'Psycho Sudarshan.'
