BIG LEAGUE
Slowly, film producers started entrusting their films’ promotions to Yuvraaj, seeing his commitment and determination. The young enterprising PR soon found himself working on two or three films like Atti. He single-handedly managed their promotions well and this caught the attention of producers in the industry. It was at this point that Kothandapani Films Senthil called him and made him the PRO of Thirunaal, a reasonably big film starring Jiiva and Nayanthara in the lead. With Yuvraaj handling its promotions well, the message was loud and clear. Another PR who had proved his mettle in this difficult industry had announced his arrival.
Soon after Thirunaal, Lady luck smiled on Yuvraaj and he was chosen to handle the promotions of Chiyaan Vikram’s Irumugan. While Yuvraaj was grateful that the producer Shibu Thameens and the film’s lead Actor Chiyaan Vikram had showed immense faith in him by appointing him as the PR of the film, the producer and the actor were impressed by his commitment. Their association continued even after Irumugan with Yuvraaj turning the PR of Actor Chiyaan Vikram as well.
Soon after, Yuvraaj also took up the challenging task of becoming the PR for an adult comedy called Hara Hara Mahadevaki.The film came in for scathing criticism but worked big time at the box office.That apart, Yuvraaj also handled with exceptional skill the promotions of Tik Tik Tik, a film that the makers claimed was the first Indian film on space. Needless to say, this film too emerged a big winner atthe box office. The year 2018 in general was a very successful year for Yuvraaj who ended up handling the promotions of a number of films including the Actor Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Junga.

PR FOR STARS AND PRODUCTION HOUSES
