The
shooting of director Mani Rathnam's film 'Ashokavanam' in Tamil and
'Raavan' in Hindi was progressing at a rapid pace for two months in the
dense forests of Kerala and adjoining places of Kolkata. Then after a
small gap they planned to shoot again in Kerala. But unfortunately Mani
Rathnam had a heart stroke and he was admitted at a private nursing
home. Since this was his third attack, the doctors took severe
precautions and treated him intensively. So the shooting was postponed
indefinitely.
Now Mani Rathnam has fully recovered and the
shooting of this film is to commence 20th of this month. Vikram,
Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Priyamani and others are starring in
this film.
The call sheet given by Aishwarya Rai for one month
got wasted because of the postponement of the shooting. But she was not
worried about this and has also given extra days. She used to regularly
phone Mani Rathnam and enquired about his health. Now Aishwarya will be
coming to Kerala since the shooting is to commence. It is understood
that Mani Rathnam will not be able to shoot the film extensively
because of his ill health. Because of this the film will be delayed and
hence all the actors who are starring in this movie have decided to co
operate with Mani Rathnam by giving extra call sheet.
Mean while Mani Rathnam is ready with his next
script. The film is titled 'Rukmani'. The story is a whole some village
subject. A R Rahman has already composed one song for this film.
