After
the
critical
and
commercial
success
of
their
last
venture
Guru,
ace
director
Mani
Ratnam
and
Bollywood's
favourite
real
life
couple,
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
are
back
once
again
with
Ravana
(working
title).
Even
though
Mani
Ratnam
has
never
been
very
secretive
about
his
projects
and
has
always
shared
his
thoughts
with
the
media
regarding
his
films,
this
time
around
there
is
a
lot
of
secrecy
involved,
quite
similar
to
the
Yash
Raj
code
of
conduct,
one
feels.
Not
much
is
known
about
the
project
and
there
are
a
lot
of
speculations
regarding
the
film.
Some
ill–informed
sources
are
of
the
view
that
this
is
a
mythological
film
(naturally,
due
to
the
title!)
and
that
Abhishek
and
Aishwarya
are
playing
Ram
and
Sita.
Another
hilarious
buzz
doing
the
round
is
that
Abhishek
is
playing
Ravana,
as
in
a
few
places
down
South
and
in
Sri
Lanka;
it
is
Ravana
who
is
regarded
and
worshipped
as
God!
Well,
all
we
can
say
is
that
these
are
mere
speculations
and
the
truth
is
that
Mani
is
really
keeping
his
cards
close
to
his
chest.
Even
Abhishek's
dress/get–up
in
Ravana
is
being
kept
a
secret.
When
questioned
about
why
Abhishek's
Ravana
look
has
been
kept
away
from
the
media
glares,
wife
and
co–star
Aishwarya
Bachchan
joins
the
fray
and
refuses
to
comment
saying
that
she
is
sorry
as
she
has
been
asked
not
to
reveal
anything
at
all.
So,
all
we
can
say
is
that
we
have
to
adopt
a
wait
and
watch
policy
here!
