The film ‘Raavan’ is making news even before its release to such an extent, that now people are even interested in the nitty gritties of thefilm, at every stage of its making.
This film, directed by the great stalwart Mani Ratnam, is being made in 3 languages, Hindi, Tamil and Telegu. In Tamil, it will be called ‘Raavana’.
However, the news is that for this film,(Tamil version) the leading lady, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, will be dubbing her own lines. This has pleased the director very much. The reason for being so, is because Aishwarya, who belongs to Mangalore, speaks the language ‘Tullu’, at her parents place, hence she was not very fluent with theTamil language. Thus, in 1997, when she had worked in the Tamil Film ‘Iruvar’, by Mani Sir, she could not dub her own lines. The job was done by a professional Tamil dubbing artist.
Now, after a lapse of almost 13 years, she is working with the director again, and there was a professional Tamil teacher hired to train her on the finesse of the language. Aishwarya, who proved that she was a good and hard working student, learnt the language in 6 months flat.
Sources reveal that she has dubbed her lines so well that any one that hears it feels that it is the work of a professional artist. The impressive learner had managed to please Mani Ratnam. Well, what can we possibly say but, Great going Ash!
