Abhishek Bachchan is working hard on his look for Mani Ratnam’s Ravan. The actor has trimmed his hair short and has lost almost 15 kgs by spending most of his free time in the gym.
Our source said, “Mani Ratnam wants Abhishek to have a chiselled body for the role of Ravan. This is why Abhishek is working hard on his body. Mani also suggested that Abhishek sport a crew cut so that he looks convincing as Ravan. Hakim Alim has worked on Abhishek’s new hairstyle.”
The actor is currently shooting in Kerala for Mani’s film.
“Most of the actors including Abhishek Bachchan and Ravi Kishan have got this haircut. They all look so different now,” said the source.
Mani has even asked his actors to develop their upper body because of which the actors have been asked to lose weight. Abhishek is also on a strict diet. “Abhishek and Ravi work out between shots. They are shooting in the jungles of Kerala,” said the source.
Meanwhile, there is going to be a small celebration for Aishwarya Rai on her 35th birthday today. According to sources close to Aishwarya who plays Sita in Mani’s film, she will be shooting all day long and is likely to have a small party for the unit of Ravan after the day’s shoot wraps up. Mani Ratnam who believes the best time for shooting is either before sunrise or after sunset will shoot only till evening after which the couple will be allowed to celebrate.
“Although they have been shooting without a break, the entire unit will try to squeeze out time to celebrate Ash’s birthday in the evening. Mani Ratnam wanted to begin shooting sometime ago but he decided to postpone the schedule as Amitabh Bachchan was hospitalised. Mani now has been shooting continuously so that he can complete the entire schedule on time,” added our source
“Ash usually makes it a point to be at home on her birthdays so that she can personally attend to all the calls and the bouquets that she receives. However, this time she will be celebrating her birthday on the set of Mani’s film. But, she is happy that Abhishek is with her on her special day,” the source said.
When contacted, Hari Singh, Aishwarya’s business manager confirmed the birthday celebrations and said, “It is Ash's birthday so they will definitely be celebrating it. The unit has something in store for her. But I have no idea about what the exact plans are.”
When asked about Abhishek’s look in Ravan, Hari Singh said, “It will be unethical on my part to reveal anything about the film right now.”
