Mani reacts to Amitabh’s remarks

In what can be seen as a sharp reaction to the remarks made by Amitabh Bachchan on ‘Raavan’, director of the film Mani Ratnam has said he is not making movies to get marks from Amitabh.

“That is his opinion. I am not bothered about it. And I am not here in the industry to get marks from Amitabh Bachchan. We have made a film after two years of hard work. Anyone can comment on it,” the ace filmmaker told a Tamil weekly.

Writing on his blog recently, the Big B expressed unhappiness over the film’s editing, which, according to him, ruined Abhishek’s performance.

“It's sad, in the edit you only see the after-effect of that thinking process, hence inconsistent. In the edit, all the visual heads got cut and you see a confused Beera expression and wonder why?” Amitabh wrote.

“Lot of merited film edited out, causing inconsistent performance and narrative. Abhishek's erratic behaviour was due to symbolic 10 heads visually appearing and each giving him different attitudes to adopt for a situation, he would then finally shake them off and decide,” he said.
