If my trusted aides are to be believed, the much guarded plot of Mani Ratnam's Abhishek – Aishwarya starrer bilingual Ravana is doing the rounds already!
The story of the film goes like this: Abhishek Bachchan's sister gets publicly humiliated by the character played by South star Vikram.
An angry Abhishek seeks revenge and storms into Vikram’s house. But he doesn't find him there. Wanting to teach him a lesson, Abhishek kidnaps Vikram's wife played by Aishwarya Rai.
Chased by the police, Abhishek hides in the nearby jungle. And guess what? Both of Abhi-Ash end up falling in love.
What follows next forms the rest of the film. Ravana is supposedly a modern day take on the Ramayana with Abhishek playing the title role. But it's Abhi-Ash's love affair that brings in the twist in the tale. Mani's wife Suhasini makes her Bollywood debut with Ravana.
According to grapevine Govinda's character is a take on Hanuman from Ramayana who aides Vikram to reach Abhishek.
Ravi Kissen plays Abhishek's trusted aide while Nikhil Dwivedi plays a cop. The film in its Tamil version will be called Ashokavanam with Prithviraj Sukumar playing Abhishek's role.
Actress-dancer Shobana has done the choreography.
