• Darshan at Laxman temple in Lucknow was the turning point
• Ravi Dubey got a big project within a year
• He will play the role of Lakshmana in Ramayana

Actor Ravi Dubey has recently revealed an extraordinary coincidence that happened before he bagged the role of Lakshmana in the grand and much-awaited film ‘Ramayana’. About a year before the casting was finalized, the actor is said to have visited the Laxman temple while shooting in Lucknow. And exactly a year after that, he got the role of Laxman.

Ravi Dubey is known as one of the best actors in the Indian entertainment world. As an actor, he has created a distinct impression of himself. Moreover, he has also played the role of a successful producer under the banner ‘Dreamiata Entertainment’. Now he will be seen playing Laxman in director Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious ‘Ramayana’. Ranbir Kapoor will be seen as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana and Sunny Deol as Hanuman in this mythological story.

Ravi said, “I was shooting Guerrilla in Lucknow for about a year before the film was locked. In one scene, I was riding a bike and my heroine was sitting on the back. When the director said ‘cut’, we waited for further instructions. Then I looked back and saw the Laxmanji temple there.”

The actor added, “I never knew that there was such a temple. Then I realized that Lucknow used to be called ‘Lakshmanpuri’. According to the story, Lord Rama had given this place to Lakshmana. I wanted to visit the temple. I went inside and saw the trinity of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana, prayed and took a picture of that moment.” Interestingly, in the serial he was shooting at that time, his character’s name was ‘Lakhan’, and the show was also called ‘Lakhan Leela Bhargava’.

Ravi said, “It was all a wonderful coincidence. And when I got the news that I was officially selected for the film, that photo from the temple flashed before my eyes. I realized that I had completely forgotten about this incident. Exactly almost a year later, I got the role of Laxman after seeing the same temple.”

This coincidence is not only the story of an artist’s journey, but also a story of a unique confluence of faith, coincidence and destiny.
