‘Raavan’ being directed by Mani Rathnam is this years biggest project in the Bollywood. This is based on the Indian epic Raamayanam but focuses on the negative role of Raavan, instead of Raam like many of the earlier films based on this epic. This film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Tamil actor Vikram in the lead roles, with Vikram playing the ‘bad guy’.

 Currently the movie is being shot in some dense forests in the state of Kerala. The film unit and especially Mani Rathnam is vvery careful not to allow any media person to the premises of shooting as he is not willing to release even a single photo of the movie till the movie is completed. This is to maintain the curiosity among the audience. Even the local tribals who live in the forest are not being allowed to the shooting spot. 

The film unit is also taking lot of trouble to continue the shooting in a remote location. Outsider cars are not allowed in these protected forests and the entire film unit had to use the jeeps provided by the local forest authorities which are very inconvinient! Mani Rathnam is taking lot of pains for his dream project!

Every scence in this movie is being shot twice - once for Tamil and once for Hindi languages.
