From Belagavi's sweet mart to heady Hollywood
Belagavi: From selling sweets in Belagavi to making a mark in the heady world of Hollywood, actor Raj Purohit has indeed come a long way.
This Christmas, the English-Hindi movie, B Positive featuring Raj in a lead role, will hit screens worldwide. Shot in fabulous locations in the US, Vietnam, South Africa and India, B-Positive is the story of a common man who connects with others in his own unique way and shows how vital it is to ‘B positive’ for a happy life.
After B-Positive, Raj is set to star in another Hollywood movie, Fight Back where he will be acting alongside actors like Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. A full-fledged action movie, Fight Back will be ready for release by the end of next year.
The sweet mart owner had a passion for acting since his childhood. “I could have led a contented life sitting in my shop but a career in tinsel town was always a dream I wanted to achieve,'' he says.
