Mumbai, February 27 Actor Ravie Dubey shared a remarkable coincidence from his life on Friday, revealing that almost a year before being confirmed to play Lord Lakshmana in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana', he had unknowingly visited Shri Lakshman's temple in Lucknow while shooting for 'Lakhan Leela Bhargava'.
Dubey shared a throwback video on Instagram, featuring himself in an interview with his wife Sargun, discussing his role in the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer.
In the caption, he wrote that during the filming of 'Lakhan Leela Bhargava', where he played the role of Lakhan, he happened to visit Shri Lakshman's temple in Lakshmanpuri purely by chance.
"Almost exactly a year before I was confirmed to play 'Lakshman' in 'Ramayana', I purely by chance ended up at Shri Lakshman's temple in Lakshmanpuri (Lucknow) while filming a show called 'Lakhan Leela Bhargava', where I played the role of 'Lakhan'," Ravie wrote.
Dubey described this as an "incredible synchronicity" and expressed his belief that such moments are a reminder of divine orchestration.
"Incredible synchronicities and coincidences are just proof that our deities are orchestrating everything… All we need to do is surrender… not strategise… just surrender," he concluded.
The upcoming film features a star-studded cast, with Ranbir as Lord Ram, Yash as Raavan, and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita.
Sunny Deol portrays Lord Hanuman, Amitabh Bachchan will play Jatayu, and Lara Dutta will be seen as Kaikeyi.
Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman are collaborating on the film's music.
'Ramayana' is a two-part live-action cinematic universe being reimagined on a grand scale, comparable to the biggest tentpole films ever made.
The film also features Hollywood's top stunt directors Terry Notary (Avengers, Planet of the Apes) and Guy Norris (Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa), who are choreographing the epic battles between gods and demons.
'Ramayana' is being filmed for IMAX and will be released worldwide, with Part 1 premiering during Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
