Amitabh Bachchan’s filmography in Bollywood has been second to none. Movies like Coolie, Shakti, Amar Akbar Anthony, Mr Natwarlal and countless others established him as the ‘angry young man’ of Bollywood along with many other titles.
But do you know who played the younger version of the ‘angry young man’ in some of these movies? Today, let’s meet Ravi Valecha, famously known as Master Ravi in the 70s and 80s. He entered the world of acting at the tender age of four. He not only worked with Amitabh Bachchan, but also with other superstars, including Dilip Kumar and Rishi Kapoor.
Master Ravi made his debut in the 1976 film Fakira, but he rose to fame with the 1977 release of Amar Akbar Anthony, which took his career to new heights. Despite his success as a child artist, Ravi Valecha transformed into a businessman after struggling to find the same recognition as he grew older.
During his peak years, Ravi was in high demand, especially for films starring Amitabh Bachchan. In those years, he worked in several superhit films such as Coolie, Amar Akbar Anthony, Shakti, Mr. Natwarlal, Tumhare Bina, Khuddar, Nastik, Parichay, Roti, Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Karz, Seeta Aur Geeta and Desh Premi.
Ravi did not make it into Bollywood as he grew up, but explored opportunities in television. Eventually, he decided to leave the world of acting and focus on business.
Today, Ravi Valecha is a well-known name in the hospitality industry. As per the available information, he now trains students in personality development and other skills for a career in hospitality.
