Nayantara refuses to play Shoorpankha in Raavan

Nayantara is in no mood of becoming Abhishek Bachchan's sister. Mani Ratnam had approached Nayantara to play Shoorpankha’s character in his Abhishek nad Aishwarya starrer film Raavan but Nayantara refused for the role as she said that the role was not of her interest.



There is news all around that now when a half a movie has been shot the script had missed out the important character of Raavan's sister Shoorpankha. Mani has now approached National Award winning actress Priyamani to play the role and she has given her nod.

Raavan is a modern day adaptation of the epic Ramayana. Tamil superstar Vikram will be playing Ram with Aishwarya Bachchan playing the role of Sita. Abhishek Bachchan will be palying the character of Raavan who kidnaps Sita. The movie which is also being made in Tamil is expected to hit the theatres in January 2010.

Abhishek Bachchan will be paired with Vidya Balan in his upcoming flick Pa where he'll be playing father to Amitabh Bachchan. Abhishek, a former LG Electronics' brand ambassador, now represents Motorola and Samsung phones in India.
