The team behind the film Raavan, is a bundle of energy, excitement and nerves with the film’s release. While speaking about the experience of shooting in some of the most beautiful locations in the country, they reveal that somewhere along the line the project went from being “just another Mani Ratnam film” to a journey that none of them will forget. As Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan talk about the film.
Husband-wife chemistry
“This is not our first film together and I’ve always maintained that as a co-star Ash is wonderful. Once she finishes her shot, she’ll stay back, watch what’s happening and help out,” says Abhishek.
His wife reciprocates the compliment and adds, “Abhishek has always been a ‘free actor,’ he gives every role his 200 per cent.” The couple say that shooting for this film has made their bond stronger. “There were times when I couldn’t sit because I was so sore from all the stunts. Those were times I was thankful I had my wife with me because things just seemed so much more easier with her around,” he adds.
Twice as much
The former beauty queen recalls, “Sometimes it was absolutely gruelling because I would have just shot in Hindi and Mani would say, ‘Quick, quick, let’s shoot the same thing before we lose the light.’ I’d look at him with this stunned expression and he would give me the same look back. That was when I realised that working in two languages was equally taxing for him too.”
