Rains spoil Raavan's mood

Abhishek Bachchan is not able to 'run around' with Aishwarya while shooting for Mani Ratnam's Raavan, thanks to the torrential rains that come unannounced and spoil their 'game'.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan must be praying to the rain god for some mercy these days. The couple who are shooting in Kerala’s Chalakudy jungle are not able to give their perfect shot because of the rains.

These days Abhi Ash are shooting a chase scene where there are several underwater sequences. The rains are making it difficult for the couple to see clearly while running around.

The actors wake up at the crack of dawn and shoots till sun down.

We are sure, the couple would be displeased with rains for a long time to come.

For various reasons it seems that making of Raavan is a bit jinxed. Mani Ratnam's health scare. Opposition from the forest officials of Kerala. In Ooty officials seized caravans of Ash and Abhishek due to lack of proper documents The problems faced by the cast while shooting in the dense Orchcha forests of MP from poisonous insects and snakes. Trouble with vehicles from Chennai being used for the Ooty schedule and license issues.
