Priyamani Vs Vikram
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,March 21 2009]
Sibling rivalry seems at its best on the sets of Mani RatnamÂs ÂRaavanÂ. Actress Priyamani, who is touted to be playing Soorpanaka in Mani RatnamÂs ÂRaavanÂ, says what has improved her as an actor is her association with Vikram, who plays ÂRaavanÂ, her brother in the film.
ÂOn the sets, my focus in on outsmarting Vikram as an actor. Kenny is terrific at his work and itÂs inspiring to see how he changes from a jovial person off screen to the character he plays when the camera gets rolling, drools Priyamani. ÂIn fact, Kenny has made me develop a conviction to do as good as him in all our scenes in the film, adds the actress, who is clearly excited about her double whammy in working with the countryÂs best actors and director Mani Ratnam.
ÂRaavan is a bilingual directed by Mani Ratnam and has Vikram and Aishwarya Rai in the lead. Prithviraj is said to be playing Ram while Priyamani, Soorpanaka. Manikandan cranks the camera for this film which has music by AR Rahman. Aishwarya Rai is juggling dates between ÂRaavan and ÂEndhiranÂ. The actress has allotted 200 bulk dates for ÂEndhiran in which she pairs with the superstar for the first time.
