Last week I read in a newspaper Mani saying that he got hospitalized during the progress of Ravan and was quite critical for some days.
Mani said that his this encounter to death had changed his perception and he re-looked at Ravan, made many changes, made it slimmer, to the point, so on. could anyone post anything about what changes Mani incorporated in the film, after, this sad encounter? thanks. -- Rawat
