Mani Ratnam's Raavan to be premiered at IIFA?
The wait seems to be over now; we are talking about Mani Ratnam's Raavana/ Raavan. There is no need of any introduction when it come to Mani Ratnam, because his very name pulls crowds to theatres. The veteran director is currently busy with his big budget bilingual tentatively titled Raavana in Tamil and Raavan in Hindi which is expected to grace theatres in July.
The latest buzz is that the Hindi version is likely to be premiered at the next edition of IIFA, to be held in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, later this year. Though the destination is not yet zeroed on but South Korea appears to be a strong contender. Mani Ratnam's Yuva (Ayutha Ezhuthu) was also premiered at the IIFA.
Raavana, said to be the modern adaptation of the epic Ramayana, revolves around Raavana, the ruler of Lanka, who kidnapped Sita. The story culminates with Sita supporting Raavana instead of Rama, who suspects her chastity after having spent so much time in Raavana’s custody. Vikram plays the villain. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are the lead pair in Hindi, while Vikram will play the lead opposite Aishwarya in Tamil. Music is by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman.
Raavana is produced by Mani Ratnam's sister Sharda under Ratnam's banner Madras Talkies.
