Mani
Ratnam had earlier decided to screen his Raavan
in the prestigious IIFA this year. However,
with the event being held in Sri Lanka and the
issue snowballing into a controversy, the director
has decided against it, we hear.
There is even an official confirmation from
Mani’s office that Raavan has nothing
to do with the IIFA. All this, apparently,
after the Tamil industry ignored the invitations
from the IIFA.
Earlier, there were plans to picket Mani’s
home and office in Chennai, should the director
not change his stance and go ahead with the
screening. |
