Aishwarya Rai and hubby Abhishek Bachchan are busy these days with the shoot of Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’ and ‘Ashokavanam’ in Tamil which is taking place on the banks of Hoogly. Abhishek is playing the central character in Mani Ratnam’s movie Raavan, a modern adaptation of the epic Ramayana. Aishwarya Rai plays a contemporary Sita, appearing as an accomplished Carnatic Musician in the movie. While Abhishek stars in the Hindi version, southern star Prithviraj Sukumar plays the lead role in the Tamil version.
Besides Abhishek and Aishwarya, the film also stars Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Manisha Koirala, Govinda, Ravi Kishan, Tejaswini Kolhapure, and Ajay Gehi.
The actress has been shooting for this movie here since February 17 while her husband Abhishek Bachchan too has joined the sets recently. The shooting is expected to continue till mid-March. Ratnam has chosen Saheb Kothi, an old Zamindar Bari (mansion of landed gentry of yore) on the banks of River Hooghly at Agarpara, in North 24-Parganas District. He has kept the unit and the locale strictly out of media glare.
