Ramayana’s Lakshman Ravie Dubey Kept Shoot Secret From Wife Sargun Mehta The teaser for Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film Ramayana was released on April 2, 2026, marking the project’s first official promotional look. The trailer, titled Rama, premiered at special screenings in Los Angeles and New York, generating significant buzz among fans. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Lakshman, played by debutant Ravie Dubey, is set to make his Bollywood debut in the ensemble cast. However, Dubey’s wife, Sargun Mehta, was unaware of his role in the film until the teaser’s release, as he had kept the project a secret from her. Sargun revealed during an interview on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast that Dubey never discussed the film with her, even as rumors about the project circulated online. “We don’t really talk about work at home,” she explained. “Just like he doesn’t know what I’m doing until my projects are announced, I also don’t find out about his work until it becomes public.” This dynamic meant Sargun had no prior knowledge of Dubey’s involvement in Ramayana, despite the film’s growing anticipation. The revelation came unexpectedly. Sargun said she learned about Dubey’s casting through a third party, who casually mentioned his role. “Someone randomly told me, ‘Congratulations, Ravie is…’ and I said, ‘Sssh. I don’t know what you’re talking about — we’re not allowed to tell each other, so don’t tell me,’” she recalled. She later confirmed the news by reading about it online, but admitted she hesitated to ask Dubey directly. “He didn’t even tell me, so I can’t even ask!” she said, highlighting the couple’s unspoken rule of not discussing work. During the film’s production, Dubey maintained a vague approach to his commitments.#nitesh_tiwari #ranbir_kapoor #ramayana #ravie_dubey #sargun_mehta
Ravie Dubey Kept Lakshman Role Secret from Wife Sargun Mehta in 'Ramayana' Ravie Dubey, who plays the character of Lakshman in the upcoming film Ramayana, revealed that he concealed his casting in the project from his wife, Sargun Mehta, for an extended period. The couple, known for avoiding discussions about work at home, preferred to keep their professional lives separate. Sargun only learned about Ravie’s role through indirect means, as the couple rarely shared details about their respective careers. This revelation was shared during a podcast interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, which took place last year. Sargun Mehta explained that the couple’s approach to work-related conversations was mutually respectful. “We don’t really talk about work at home,” she said. “Just like he doesn’t know what I’m doing until my projects are announced, I also don’t find out about his work until it becomes public.” When someone congratulated her on Ravie’s role, she politely declined, stating she wasn’t supposed to know. During the film’s production, Ravie maintained secrecy about his involvement. Whenever Sargun inquired about his whereabouts, he would simply respond, “Kaam pe ja raha hoon” (I am going for work), without mentioning the nature of the project. Sargun admitted her curiosity eventually overcame her discretion. She once asked the driver about the set’s atmosphere, but the driver mistakenly assumed she was referring to Ranbir Kapoor, who also stars in the film. Ravie laughed when Sargun shared the story, adding, “Woh bhi mere bare mein nahi, Ranbir (Kapoor) ke bare mein” (“That too not about me, but about Ranbir (Kapoor)”). The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is set to release in two parts, with the first installment scheduled for Diwali 2026 and the second for Diwali 2027.#nitesh_tiwari #ranbir_kapoor #ravie_dubey #sargun_mehta #ranveer_allahbadia
