Mani Ratnam’s Ravana shoot has now shifted from the jungles of Kerala to interiors of Madhya Pradesh. Abhishek Bachchan along with Aishwarya Rai is presently in Jhansi for this final schedule of the Mani Ratnam film.
Sources reveal, “The film was planned to be shot in three main locations, the interiors of Kerala, Chennai and in some virgin locations in interiors of Madhya Pradesh. Each location was selected after having done a thorough research about it as it was necessary for the script. The Madhya Pradesh locations were kept undisclosed even for some members involved in the making of the film.
Though presently stationed at Jhansi, Abhishek will be heading towards the Betwa river for shooting some action scenes and later Aishwarya will join him for shoot to be taken place in and around Orcha area. This entire schedule will last around 20 days following which all the shooting portions for the film shall get over and post-production will begin. The film has already been delayed due to the illness of Amitabh Bachchan and his subsequent hospitalization in October. Mani is hoping for a summer release of the film in three languages – Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.”
