Abhishek Aishwairya drives in Lexus to Shoot- Site

Mani Ratnam is shooting for Raavan in one of the most picturseque and pretty locations but the cast and crew are having a tough time reaching the shooting site. Abhishek Bachchan, therefore, to make his wife comforatable has called for his Lexus all the way to Nashik so that he can travel with his wife through cosily now.




The crew is currently shooting in Malshej Ghats, on Pune-Nashik highway. The place we all are put up in is an hour away from the location. The entire unit with the cast travels for more than an hour to reach the location. Abhishek wasn't happy with the car provided to them for their journey to the destination. He called for his Lexus (SUV) and drives it with his wife Aishwarya Bachchan to the shoot.

The roads are very bad and foggy on the way while driving. Abhi manages to drive on the awful roads and reaches on time too. This is a month long schedule and has the Bachchan couple, Ravi Kishan, Nikhil Dwivedi along with the South actors.

This is one crazy drive, right?

Raavan in last shoot schedule now

On August 27, Mani Ratnam's epic film shall enter into its last shooting stint. The bilingual drama shot simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil with music by A.R. Rahman, the Hindi version of Raavan stars Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Govinda and Nikhil Dwivedi.




This will happen in a place near Mahabaleshwar which would last for 40 days. Every scene is shot twice with a change in actors taking place as well. You have to factor this as well before jumping to conclusions around the film being over shot.

Total shooting days for the film would read 110-115 days. For a movie of this scale, budget, canvas and subject, it is but natural to have an extended shooting schedule. Moreover, there is a lot of outdoors required in the film as well that includes rock climbing and some rough terrain.

Since this is the last shooting schedule for the film, Raavan would get into post production soon after the wrap is announced in early October. The entire post production is going to be an intense exercise as well.

The film is expected for an April/May 2010 release.

Amitabh Bachchan completes 40 years in Hindi cinema. All of the Bollywood industry alongwith wife Jaya Bachchan, beta Abhishek Bachchan and darling Bahu Aishwarya will join in together to pay homage to the megastar. The tribute is going to be done in the form of a concert that would be organised in Mumbai. This would be the biggest celebration ever done in bollywood.




Events organiser Bunty Walia says it is too early to come out with the details of the concert, but the concert is likely to be preceded by a Bachchan film festival organised by the superstar’s friend Anil Ambani.

The veteran actor Bachchan himself will only come on stage at the end and will recite poetry made famous by his late father Harivanshrai Bachchan. The concert is not intended as a surprise to the actor who turns 67 on October 11.

Abhishek Bachchan will be seen opposite wife Aishwarya in Mani Ratnam's Raavan and the veteran actor Amitabh will be soon seen playing a mathematics professor in his forthcoming movie Teen Patti.

Baap-beta jodi will also grace the silver screen once again after performing together in Bunty Aur Bubli. The film is titled as Paa where Abhishek will be playing father to his real life father Amitabh Bachchan.

Kiran Shah to play five year old Big B in Paa

Balki has casted Kiran Shah to play the role of 5 year old Amitabh Bachchan in his forthcoming film Paa. Kiran Shah has worked in number of Hollywood films like The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of Jedi and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Kiran Shah is 53 years old and is three feet tall. Kiran walks like a normal child and with the help of Prosthetics, he has been transformed in to looking like young Amitabh Bachchan. The film Paa is about a person who suffers from Progeria, a disease that makes one age faster. Let's hope that Kiran do full justice to the role.
