Nikhil
Dwivedi
has
shaved
himself
bald
for
Mani
Ratnam's
Raavan.
The
actor
was
initially
hesitant,
but
director
Mani,
being
a
professional
made
him
go
clean.
A
source
reveals,
"Nikhil
plays
the
role
of
a
cop.
Ravi
Kissen,
who
plays
Abhishek
Bachchan's
brother
in
the
movie,
is
shaving
him
for
revenge
in
the
film.
Nikhil
was
reluctant
and
was
not
willing
to
go
bald.
Mani
sir
explained
him
the
importance
of
the
scene
and
after
having
a
discussion
with
the
director
for
over
an
hour
the
actor
agreed
and
went
thin
on
top."
The
source
continues,
"After
the
Ooty
shoot
minus
Govinda,
the
crew
is
currently
shooting
in
Malshej
Ghats,
on
Pune-Nashik
highway.
Cast
including
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Aishwarya
Bachchan,
Ravi
Kissen
and
Nikhil
Dwivedi
are
present.
The
shoot
is
happening
at
a
very
difficult
location.
It
is
spectacular
but
it
is
a
one-hour
walk
in
muck.
It
is
a
very
tough
terrain
to
shoot."
