Shooting of Mani Ratnam's Raavan ends at last

The shooting of Raavan has ended at last. You name it and they faced it - rains, accidents, legal issues, jungle safaris, and all kinds of delay that you can think of.

Raavan’ is produced and directed by Mani Ratnam. It has a big star cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Govinda, Vikram, Priyamani, Karthick, Prithviraj and others. Raavan is made into a bilingual (Hindi-Tamil) movie. It is remotely based on Ramayana. Interestingly, the director has modified the story and changed the angle altogether, making the villain a hero. Abhishek here plays the title character as Raavan. Cinematography is done by Santosh Sivan and no guesses for the music - it's A R Rahman as always.

Mani Ratnam breathed a sigh of relief at last and to mark this occasion, Mani Ratnam and his wife Suhasini threw a party for the team. Mani Ratnam personally praised Govinda for his performance, which touched the surprised actor immensely. Now that they are back to modern civilisation, we can be sure the film will be ready for release soon.
