Personal life[edit]
Ravi grew up as a child in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Ravi's father P.J. Sharma was also an actor and dubbing artist who worked in many Telugu, Kannada and Tamil films. His elder brother Sai Kumar entered in film industry as dubbing artist and became a very successful actor later.[3] He is married to a Punjabi woman, Suchil Ravi Shankar and the couple has one son named Adhvey Shankar.[3]
Career[edit]
Ravi Shankar made his film debut as a lead actor in 1986 with R. Narayana Murthy's film Aalochinchandi.[3] He later was seen in vital roles in films such as Madhura Nagariloand Keechurallu. With no more offers, Ravi took hiatus from acting and re-entered as a villain in 2001 with Gopi Chand's debut film Tholi Valapu. His acting and dubbing were immensely praised by the critics but the film failed at the box office.[6] Lack of success in his acting career forced him to pursue dubbing as a profession similar to his father and brother. He started dubbing professionally with the Telugu film Rowdyism Zindabad, where he dubbed for Tamil actor Mohan Raj.[3] He continued to dub for many character artists from other languages such as Raghuvaran, Mohan Raj, Devaraj, Charan Raj, Captain Raju, Nassar, Ashish Vidyarthi, Prakash Raj, Ashutosh Rana, Sonu Sood, Mukesh Rishi and Pradeep Rawat etc.[7] He dubbed for over 2600 films with more than 1000 films each in Telugu and Tamil and over 150 films each in Kannada and Malayalam.[7] In 2002, he directed a Kannada film titled Durgi, starring Malashri. The film was later remade in Telugu as Narasimhudu starring N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Ameesha Patel and Sameera Reddy. Ravi provided the story for the film which was directed by B. Gopal.[8] The film was heavily criticised and bombed at the box office.[9]
His dubbing work in the 2009 film Arundhati, where he voiced for Sonu Sood was praised by the critics and became very popular with the audience.[10] He won a Nandi award for his performance and was referred to as 'Bommali Ravi Shankar' by the media there after. His success with the film also boosted his acting career.[11] Post Arundhati, he was seen in Telugu films such as Kurradu and Happy Happy Gaa and in Tamil films such as Vettaikaaran and Kollaikaran.[12] He was also seen in Kannada films such as Dandam Dashagunam, Kote, Kempe Gowda and Shakti.[13]
His portrayal of a criminal named "Armugam" in the 2011 Kannada film Kempe Gowda was widely praised by the critics[14] and he received the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor – Kannada at the 59th Filmfare Awards South.[5]
