Antony L. Ruben

Antony L. Ruben, born on November 15, 1986, in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, isn’t your average film editor—unless your average film editor regularly works on gigantic blockbusters and keeps their cool while juggling high-octane action scenes with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cuts. This guy’s fingerprints are all over some of the biggest hits in Indian cinema. Take "Jawan" (2023) for example—yeah, that Shah Rukh Khan thriller everyone wouldn’t shut up about. Ruben was in the thick of it, weaving together the chaos and drama into something that actually made sense, which, let’s be real, is no small feat with that much star power and insane set-pieces flying around. But wait, back up a couple years, and you'll spot his magic in "Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1" (2021). That movie was *everywhere*—from meme pages to music playlists. The storytelling? Sharp as a tack, thanks to the editing. Those gritty, adrenaline-pumping sequences? You can thank Ruben for keeping the momentum without leaving the audience dizzy. And if you thought that was all, think again. "Mersal" (2017) came before that, another massive crowd-pleaser, where Ruben’s editing stitched together time jumps and plot twists like he was born for it. Honestly, the dude’s got a knack for making stories punch harder and flow smoother. He’s not just cutting film; he’s practically remixing the way folks experience movies. Born and raised in Tamil Nadu, but his work? It’s all over the map—Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, you name it. If you’re watching an Indian blockbuster and find yourself glued to the screen, chances are Ruben’s behind the curtain, pulling the strings.
