Aishwarya Rai, the stunningly beautiful Bachchan bahu who plays lead in Mani Ratnam’s upcoming ambitious flick ‘Raavan’ opposite hubby Abhishek Bachchan, felt that she was on the Fear Factor show rather than shooting for a feature film in the jungles of Kerala full of snakes and leeches.

In fact, Aishwarya recalls that not only snakes were present a whisker away, but she was also forced to donate blood to several hundred leeches. Moreover, the location of the shoot was far away in the jungle and on hillocks and they had to make effort to even reach there, leave aside shooting the sequences.

Aishwarya Rai is in the character of a classical dance teacher in the film and her character is known as Ragini. Her character is very strong and not wishy washy. However, despite of being the leading lady of the film, Aishwarya’s character needed to be drenched in water and mud all the time to showcase a real touch to whole proceedings.

Abhishek Bachchan is in the character of ‘Raavan’, while southern superstar Vikram plays the part of Aishwarya’s on-screen husband in the Hindi version. Vikram plays the part of a cop and Aishwarya is his wife, who gets abducted by ‘Raavan’s character Abhishek Bachchan.

The music of the film is one of the highlight of the film and was released today at Yashraj Studios. A R Rahman and Mani Rathnam have combined to make a memorable music album and this will always help the film at the box office.

Beera Beera… track has the potential of becoming a superhot number with the audiences.
