Sneak Peek of Ravana/Asokavanam

Maniratnam's bilingual movie (Ravana in Hindi & Asokavanam in Tamil) is based on the epic RAMAYANA but in a modern version. No wonder the protagonist and the key role is the RAVAN character. It's known fact that Mani's Dhalapathy is based on the other epic MAHABHARATA. The speciality in the movie is the same actor plays different roles in both the languages. He's none other than Vikram. In the Hindi version, he plays the character of Ram, where Abhishek Bachchan plays Ravan character. In the Tamil version, Vikram plays the pivotal Ravan and Prithviraj plays Ram. Ash is Sita in both. In most of the remake movies and bilingual movies, the actors play the same characters in all the versions. Like Esha Deol's charcter in both Yuva and Aayidha Ezhuthu. Genelia's character in Bommarillu, Santosh Subramniyam and soon to be released It's my Life. But Vikram acts as Hindi Ram in one shot and the Tamil Ravan in the other shot. In my opinion, Maddy would be better option for Tamil Ram. Prithviraj is much youngr than Ash, but he looks so handsome.

Tail Piece: Priyamani plays Surpanaka character. Prabhu and Karthik also have some interesting roles in Asokavanam

Expecting for both Ravan and Asokavanam
