Amidst a lot of hindrances and mishaps like heavy rains, mishaps, jungle safaris, delays, Mani Ratnam's much talked about bilingual film Ravan is said to have completed its shooting journey. The entire crew is now relieved and relaxed and to mark this occasion, Mani Ratnam and his wife Suhasini organized a party for the team.

'Ravana', produced and directed by Mani Ratnam, has a huge star cast including Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Govinda, Prithviraj, Priyamani, Karthik and others. 'Ravana', made simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil, is inspired by the epic 'Ramayana'. It might even be said that it is a modern version of the epic. Interestingly, Mani has given a twist to the story by making the villain - RAVAN - as the protagonist in his movie.

The movie boasts of an enviable cast that includes Vikram, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyamani and many more. The cinematography is handled by Santosh Sivan while music is done by A R Rahman.

The movie is expected to hit the theatres by March next year.
