Electric two-wheeler startups have been the talk of the town in India, and have attracted people from different backgrounds. Joining the ‘Karwaan’ of the EV space in the country is Sita Raman movie star, Dulquer Salmaan who has revealed that he is one of the first investors in the Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive.

Similar to his father and actor Mammootty, the heart-throb actor has been an auto-nut since a young age and has also been an investor in varied companies. Salmaan recently announced on his Instagram that his first electric vehicle will be the Ultraviolette F77.

The actor’s garage had a dedicated space for the e-sportbike, and it was also revealed that he will be getting a special edition of the F77. Perks of being an initial investor in the company, am I right? 

Apart from this, Salmaan sports a number of sports cars, supercars and big bikes in his humble abode including the BMW R 1200 GS, Triumph Bonneville, 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and the jewel of his garage, the iconic 2002 BMW M3.
