Our birdies have excitedly brought in this juicy news, from the confines of Mani Ratnams hot project Raavan. Whats it? Read on
Birdies seem to have probed into the matters concerning Abhishek Bachchans character in the film. And while there are many stories revolving around the role, what our birdies found is quite surprising They say that Abhisheks character is not only based on Ramayanas Raavana but also inspired from real life personality, the Maoist leader Kobad Ghandy! In fact Ghandy has been the real inspiration, more than the mythological character. Birdies heard it that actually the story of the Ramayana is very nicely and intelligently woven into the story of Kobad Ghandy.
Birdies got it from sources that, in Raavan Abhishek play Veera, a naxalite leader of the downtrodden villagers in eastern Madhya Pradesh. Just like Ghandys Communist party India-Maoist is banned, Abhisheks organisation is also banned in the film. The major difference between the two characters is that while Ghandy is an educated man, Abhisheks character is from a small and remote village from Eastern MP.
A fact known, Mani Ratnam loves having a strong element of contemporary history in his films. Earlier in his films, Mani reflected Vardha Rajans life in Nayakan and Dhirubhai Ambanis life in Guru. Similarly the filmmaker tried to blend real serious issues in films like Roja, Dil Se and Yuva.
And we are sure; this time the director will be successful in etching out Raavanas image as well
