Devaraj–Mohan was a directing duo of the Indian film industry, mainly of Tamil-language films.[1][2] They were known for quality films made on a low budget, thus giving a very reasonable profit for almost every film. The duo is also notable for launching one of the most prolific Indian composers, Ilaiyaraaja through their film Annakili.
