Mani Ratnam’s next film starring Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Govinda is a modern day adaptation of Ramayan. The film titled Ravana will also star South superstar Vikram, who will play the role of Ravan.
Our source says, “Mani Sir is excited about Ravana. Mani was keen that Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai play the Ram-Sita pair and he was delighted when they agreed to do so.
Govinda will be playing the role of Hanuman and has already signed the film. The locations are also finalised.”
The film will be made under Ratnam’s banner Madras Talkies and will be produced by Mani Ratnam’s sister Sharda, since his brother Srinivas who used to handle the production house is no more. The film will go on floors from September end.
Incidentally, Vikram, who will play Ravan in the film, will be playing Ram in the Tamil version.”
The actors have, reportedly, been sworn to secrecy. When contacted Govinda said, “How can I reveal the script of the film? All I can say is that it’s a brilliant script and Mani Sir is an extremely talented director. I am honoured to work with a veteran like him.”
