  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,April 21 2009]

Even as Raavan’s shoot has been put on hold, eyes haven’t stopped looking in Mani Ratnam’s direction, as he is convalescing following a heart attack. The ace director is still in hospital and this is expected to stall the film’s shoot for over a month. The plan, originally, was to start a new schedule of shoot in Kerala from tomorrow.

The director, who is still in the hospital, is said to be responding well to treatment. The maverick filmmaker’s spokesperson vouches that his health is safe and he should be out from the hospital and on the sets soon.

As of now, only one person has access to the director’s ward, and that is his wife Suhasini. It is said that the actress is the one to tell others about his health condition, as he has refused to see anybody else.

Industry bigwigs, all of who has worked with the director, are thronging to see him and convey their wishes. But the director hasn’t budged and Suhasini is still the only one to have access to him.

Mani Ratnam’s health has postponed shooting, and this is expected to cause delays in the finally release of the film, as the heavy duty star cast of the problem is said to have jam-packed dates.
