Latest scoop is that Mani's Ravana will
portray the epic villain of Ramayana, Ravana,
in a different light. Although Mani has
taken cue from Kambaramayana, unlike the
epic, Ravana, the ruler of Lanka who fancied
Rama's wife Seetha, is the lead of his story.
The story, as per sources, culminates into
Seetha taking the side of Ravana instead
of Rama who suspected her chastity for having
been abducted by Ravana.
It is also speculated that Vikram plays
Ravana in the Tamil version and takes the
role of Rama in the Hindi version. Abhishek
will play Ravana in Hindi while Prithviraj
plays Rama's role in Tamil. Ash plays Seetha
in both the versions with Priyamani playing
Ravana's sister Soorpanak |
