Seems like stars of “Raavana” are not holding up for Mani Ratnam’s project once again as the shooting of Aishwarya Rai-Abhishek Bachchan starrer flick “Raavana”, which was scheduled to start near Malshej Ghat from August 27, is in dilemma after the forest officials filed cases against fourteen unit members.

As per the sources, “The officials have filed cases against these people under the Forest Conservation Act, 1980 and the Indian Forest Act, 1927 for putting up sets for the film without legal permission. They have also impounded one JCB and a tractor involved in the construction work and spunk a fine.”

Now, the director Mani Rathnam will only be permitted to shoot on the site when he gets proper permission from the authorities and pays the fines obligated on the unit members.
Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan and others were expected to shoot here for almost fourteen days, but now everything has turned into uncertainty.
