Mani
Ratnam"s
Raavana
may
not
be
screened
in
the
esteemed
IIFA
awards
as
was
earlier
decided.
The
fact
that
IIFA
is
all
set
to
take
place
in
Srilanka
has
resulted
in
a
controversy
for
the
South
Film
fraternity.
Owing
to
the
sensitive
situation
which
resulted
due
to
the
civil
War
most
Tamil
actors
and
eminent
personalities
have
decided
to
boycott
the
award
ceremony.
Mani
too
decided
to
call
of
the
screening
of
his
film
at
the
award
ceremony
after
the
Tamil
film
fraternity
ignored
invitations
from
the
IIFA.
There
was
an
official
confirmation
from
Mani"s
office
that
Raavana
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
IIFA.
The
film
maker"s
office
and
home
in
Chennai
were
also
under
the
possibilities
of
being
besieged
if
at
all
he
decided
to
go
ahead
with
the
screening.
