Meet man, an engineer, who is playing main role in India's most expensive film worth Rs 835 crore, his name is..., movie is...
Now, this actor is all set to feature in a Rs 835 crore film. If you are wondering who this actor is, let us tell you that he is not from Bollywood, but the king of television. The actor in discussion is none other than Ravi Dubey. An actor known to be a jack of all trades, he is now poised to make headlines globally.
Ravi Dubey is all set to reprise the character of Laxman in director Nitesh Tiwari's two-part film series Ramayana: Part 1 and 2. Ravi, who gained a massive breakthrough with serials like Saas Bina Sasural and later with Jamai Raja, is now gearing up to make it big in Bollywood with a film that reportedly has a budget of Rs 835 crore. Did You Know Ravi Was an Engineer by Profession?
Yes, you read that right! Ravi did his electronics and telecommunications engineering at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology, Mumbai. Since his father, Gyan Prakash Dubey, was a civil engineer, Ravi chose the same field as a backup plan. He began his career in modelling before making his television debut with Stree… Teri Kahaani (2006-2007).
According to Wikipedia, Ravi also worked as a real estate agent. However, he knew his true calling was acting and hence started his journey in the same field. The actor later got married to co-star Sargun Mehta on December 7, 2013. The duo also own a film and television production company, Dreamiyata Entertainment. Since then, he never looked back. About Ramayana
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is all set to woo the audience. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Lord Ram, whereas Sai Pallavi will play the role of Goddess Sita.
According to Hindustan Times, the film, produced on an extravagant scale, has exceeded the production budgets of Kalki 2898 AD (Rs 600 crore), as well as RRR and Adipurush (both Rs 550 crore).

Box Office: Brad Pitt's F1 scores an excellent trend at the Indian box office in week one; Shows NO DROP from Monday to Thursday
The Brad Pitt led F1 has shown a fantastic trend at the box office in India, as the film refused to show any drop in collections on the weekdays. After scoring Rs 20.75 crore over the opening weekend, F1 collected Rs 3.25 crore on Monday, followed by Rs 3.50 crore each on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With this, the 7-day total of the Brad Pitt starrer stands at Rs 34.50 crore, and the film will be aiming to hit a half century at the Indian box office much before the end of second week. F1 is scoring phenomenal occupancies at the IMAX properties, which have contributed 30 percent to the total business, and it is holding on to all the premium screens in the second week too. Interestingly, there is a drop in showcasing outside the IMAX format in India owing to competition from another Hollywood film, Jurassic World: Rebirth and a Hindi film in the form of Metro In Dino. In an ideal world, the film should have held better showcasing in week two, but internal politics of national chains have resulted in a drop in showcasing, but there the film is certain to get back a large chunk of shows over the weekend due to demand from the audiences. The film should be looking to hold itself above the Rs 3 crore mark on Friday, and then show a surge to Rs 5 crore each on Saturday and Sunday. F1 is a Bonafide HIT in India, and will now be aiming to attain the super hit tag, if it shows the same legs in week two and week three as well. These are excellent figures for a non-franchise/non IP film in India, and the trend indicates a vast acceptance from the cinema going audience. The film in all likelihood will show strong legs in the coming few weeks, and attempt to hit the Rs 70 crore mark by the end of its run in India. Here's a look at day wise box office collections of F1 in India Day Amount Friday Rs 5.50 crore Saturday Rs 7.25 crore Sunday Rs 8.00 crore Monday Rs 3.25 crore Tuesday Rs 3.50 crore Wednesday Rs 3.50 crore Thursday Rs 3.50 crore Week One Rs 34.50 crore
