RAAVAN is a modern day adaptation of the great Indian epic Ramayana (which tells the story of Rama, whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon (Rakshasa) king of Lanka, Ravana).
Written and directed by Mani Ratnam, it stars Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vikram in the lead roles while Govinda, Ravi Kishan, Nikhil Dwivedi, Tejaswini Kolhapure and Priyamani play key supporting roles.
It has been simultaneously made in Tamil as RAAVANAN with a slightly different cast. Vikram, who plays Dev in Hindi version, plays Veera, a Naxalite leader (Ravana) in Tamil version, whereas Prithviraj plays a Police officer. Abhishek Bachchan is there only in Hindi version; however Aishwarya Rai is there in both the versions. The film is also dubbed into Telugu and other regional languages.
Mani Ratnam has approached the story from the perspective of Veera (RAAVAN).
The music and lyrics of the movie are done by Oscar winners A. R. Rahman & Gulzar. The audio rights are with T-Series.
RAAVAN, which hits the screens in June 2010, is jointly distributed by Madras Talkies and Big Pictures.
