Jayam is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language romantic action film directed by Mohan Raja and starring Ravi in his leading role.
The film tells the story of Sujatha and Raghu, first cousins who are arranged to get married as adults due to their parents' decision. However, Raghu becomes a troublesome character as he grows up.
The film is a remake of the 2002 Telugu-language film with the same title, featuring Raja's brother Ravi Mohan, Sadha and Gopichand in their first Tamil ventures respectively.
The ensemble supporting cast includes Rajeev, Pragathi, Nizhalgal Ravi, Radha Ravi, Nalini, Senthil, and Suman Setty. The music was composed by R. P. Patnaik.
The film released on June 21, 2003, to mixed reviews but became a sleeper hit. The success prompted Ravi to retain the film's title as a prefix to his stage name.
