Ravi Kishan calls it ‘fortune' as he joins Madhuri Dixit Nene in Ma Behen with Triptii Dimri and Dharna Durga
Basking in the success of Laapataa Ladies (2023) and his popular OTT show Maamla Legal Hai, actor and parliamentarian Ravi Kishan is all set for his next big project. The actor will soon share screen space with Madhuri Dixit Nene in the upcoming film Ma Behen, which goes on floors in May in Mumbai. The film also stars Triptii Dimri and Dharna Durga.
'Bahut hi adbhut role hai in an entertaining film, and people have never seen me in such a character before,' he shares, brimming with excitement. 'Bada rangeen, dilphek, romantic aur rasdaar kirdaar hai yeh!' Directed by Suresh Triveni (Tumhari Sulu fame), the film sees Kishan playing a character from a mohalla who is a big admirer of Madhuri Dixit Nene.
When asked if his real-life admiration for Madhuri will reflect on screen, Ravi laughs, 'Madhuri ji has been such a big superstar, and we've all admired her for decades. It's a great feeling. I had the opportunity to work with Sridevi ji, but never with Madhuri ji — so this is a big charm, saubhagya hai ki unke saath kaam karna. Triptii, India's new sensation, is also part of the film, so God-willing, it'll be a beautiful project.'
Ravi, who describes himself as being in the best phase of his career, adds, 'Laapataa Ladies became a massive hit, and Maamla Legal Hai was widely loved. The industry now sees me as a capable actor. After 34 years of hard work, good scripts and big banners are finally coming my way.'
Reflecting on his journey of over 750 films, he muses, 'Log chal kar aate hain, main reng kar aaya hoon, but it's been anand wala safar.'
Currently, Ravi is working on several high-profile projects, including Son of Sardaar 2, the Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai film, Maamla Legal Hai Season 2 and Dhamaal 3, before diving into Ma Behen.
On balancing acting and politics, he says, 'Yes, I can manage both my constituency work and shooting well. I am grateful to my party for the liberty they give me. In my second term as an MP, I have also put up the most questions in Parliament.'

Ravi Mohan's girlfriend Kenishaa Francis addresses pregnancy rumours
Actor Ravi Mohan is in the midst of divorcing his estranged wife Aarti Ravi, but many on the internet believe he has moved on with singer-healer Kenishaa Francis. There were even rumours that she was pregnant, apart from blaming her for the rift between Ravi and Aarti. In an interview with Behindwoods TV, Kenishaa clapped back at this. (Also Read: Ravi Mohan visits temple with Kenishaa Francis before launching studio's logo) Kenishaa discussed the multiple comments and rumours about her that have surfaced since she was linked to Ravi. One was when a still of her was mistaken to be a post about her rumoured pregnancy, which she posted with a note about 'hope'. Clarifying that it's a still from her song, Andrum Indrum, and what people mistook for a stomach is actually her arms, she said, 'Many people are saying that I am pregnant. I don't have a six-pack, but I am not pregnant. Do I need permission to cross my arms now?' A post shared by KENEESHAA (@keneeshaa1) Kenishaa also said that she's grateful for those who are mature. Addressing naysayers, she said, "I am not an angel, but I promise you, I'm not the devil either. It's like a rabbit hole where one gossip leads to another. There's time to address it and I could, but I choose not to.' Kenishaa made news when she was dragged into Ravi and Aarti's divorce, but she claimed that the actor was just a friend and a client, as she's a spiritual healer. The two attended a high-profile wedding in Chennai in May and twinned in gold outfits. Later, they also attended the wedding reception together. Most recently, they made headlines again after visiting the Kundrakudi Temple. Pictures of the two with garlands around their necks in traditional outfits surfaced online. Ravi confirmed rumours in September last year and announced that he was separated from his wife, Aarti Ravi. The couple got married in 2009 and have two sons together. Aarti claimed to have been blindsided by his public announcement. When Kenishaa's name was brought up, she clarified that she was Ravi's friend and healer. In May, Ravi and Aarti went back and forth on social media after his public appearance with Kenishaa.
