Ravi (played by Nivin Pauly) is a protagonist in Padavettu.
Ravi is an unemployed man who lives with his aunt, Pushpa, and initially spends his days idle, arguing with her and the neighbors. After he breaks the plaque Kuyyali placed outside their home, he admits the act to the police. He later kills a wild boar that injured Mohanan, takes up farming, and confronts Kuyyali's attempt to seize farmers' land. Mohanan (played by Shine Tom Chacko) appears in Padavettu.
Mohanan is Ravi's neighbor. After a wild boar kills his father, Mohanan goes into the field the following night to hunt it, but the animal attacks and injures him. Ravi arrives and kills the boar, making Mohanan's encounter with it a key event in Ravi's change of direction. Kuyyali (played by Shammi Thilakan) appears in Padavettu.
Kuyyali is a local politician who uses Pushpa's request for house-repair assistance as a political opportunity, rebuilding Ravi and Pushpa's home without permission and placing a party plaque outside. He blames political opponents when Ravi breaks it, threatens Ravi, and later targets Ravi's home and farmland for an election rally. Pushpa (played by Remya Suresh) appears in Padavettu.
Pushpa is Ravi's aunt, and they live together in a house that has fallen into disrepair because they lack money for repairs. She repeatedly complains at Panchayat meetings and has submitted an application seeking funds, but her request is not considered. Kuyyali uses their situation to promote his party by rebuilding the house and displaying a plaque.
