Mani Ratnam seeks permission from the authorities

Raavan’s director Mani Ratnam is planning to shoot the climax scene at the Chalakudy forests. This important scene requires a helicopter and the director is now working on getting the requisite permission to operate a helicopter in the area for 10 days from the authorities concerned. With the project already delayed due to various reasons, the team intends to wrap it up as soon as possible.

Raavan stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abishek Bachchan, Vikram, Prithviraj, and Priya Mani among others. With cameraman Manikandan leaving the project halfway, Santosh Sivan has taken up the mantle to complete it successfully.
