Reliance Big Pictures co-producing Raavan; to release film next year
MUMBAI: Reliance Big Pictures is co-producing Mani Ratnam directed film Raavan along with Madras Talkies, the production house of the noted director.
Denying a media report that had stated that the production house had withdrawn from the venture, Reliance Big Pictures CEO Sanjeev Lamba said, “We are associated with the film from day one and we are proud to be associated with Mani Ratnam, one of the finest directors in the country.”
The film is now in the post-production stage and will be released globally by March-April next year,” added Lamba.
Raavan starts with Abhishek’s sister getting publicly disgraced by the role played by South star Vikram. To take revenge, a raged Abhishek enters Vikram’s house but doesn‘t find him there. In order to teach Vikram a lesson, Abhishek kidnaps Vikram‘s wife, played by Aishwarya Rai. Knowing that the police was chasing him, Abhishek hides in the nearby jungle. And here the story takes an ‘U’ turn, when both Abhi-Ash fall in love.
The film has been shot in the jungles of Kochi and later in Jhansi.
Raavan, said to be a modern take on Ramayana, also stars Manisha Koirala, Govinda, Ravi Kishan, Tejaswini Kolhapure and Ajay Gehi.
