Crazy Star Ravichandran’s next release is The Judgement, a legal thriller in which he plays the lead. The actor will be seen as a prosecutor, whose error of judgement sends an innocent man to jail. What he does when he realizes his folly and has to find a workaround to secure this man’s freedom is what the film by director Gururaj Kulkarni is about. Ravichandran is pitted against Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, as they fight to decide if Diganth’s character stays in jail or not. The film is likely to be a May theatrical release.
