Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan shoot for Mani Ratnam's Ramay an

 

Aishwarya Rai and hubby, Abhishek Bachcchan are busy shooting in the jungles of Kerala for the project based on Ramayana directed by Mani Ratnam.

 
Aishwarya on her part is receiving Z category security. Her look in the movie is being kept a highly guarded secret. She is playing the role of Sita.

Mani Ratnam always makes sure not to release any pictures of his movies before its release. The shooting for the movie has been held in the forest area, helping the director’s cause as no cars can reach the site and they need to travel in jeeps.

Arriving in cars, the stars get into jeeps for the final journey to the shooting spot. Even at this changeover point, Aishwarya is covered with a blanket or umbrella.

As for Abhishek Bachchan, Mani Ratnam has requested him to lose a few kilos and get into shape for his role as Rama.

The film requires both lead actors (Abhishek and south Indian star Vikram who plays Raavan) to look fit. It is a period film and actors have to flaunt their chiseled bodies in quite some portions of the movie.

There are war scenes and a marriage scene in which the actors will go bare bodied and Mani wanted his heroes to carry off a perfect body. He has asked Abhishek to shed around 15 kilos and work out regularly to develop a muscular physique. Abhishek has paid heed to Mani’s words and is working out religiously

The movie tells the story of Ramayana from the point of view of Ravana and the incident of Agni-parikshan (testing by fire) of Sita.

The film will be made in two languages — Hindi and Tamil — simultaneously. In the Tamil version Vikram will essay the role of Rama and Prithviraj will don the garb of Raavan. Aishwarya Rai will play Sita in both versions.
