Furthermore, the actor also shared that he has decided to create a structured fan club by the name of Ravi Mohan Fans Foundation, “This foundation will work towards helping all those in need and making a positive impact in our society. This is my heartfelt wish.” An effort to convert the love and support I have received into meaningful contributions to those who need it most,” read a part of the shared note.
