Wary of kicking up a controversy, director v has decided to axe a lovemaking scene between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in his movie Ravana .

The movie is said to be the modern interpretation of the ancient epic Ramayana with Abhishek playing the villain and Aishwarya playing a character similar to Sita. In the film, Ash, a married woman, is kidnapped by Abhishek and taken into a forest. Abhishek apparently has grouse against Ash’s husband (played by Vikram ).

In the forest, an attraction develops between Ash and Abhi.

According to latest buzz from the film’s unit, the movie originally had a love scene between Ash and Abhi. But Mani Ratnam has deleted it from the script because he doesn’t want to create an unnecessary controversy that might enrage religious groups and self-appointed moral brigades.

Mani Ratnam is being extra careful in making his adaptation of the Ramayana starring Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The film, which revolves around the kidnapping of Sita, has been adapted to suit modern times.

Aishwarya plays the role of a married woman, who is kidnapped by Abhishek.

Soon they get attracted to each other and the story progresses. Mani’s Raavan is played by AB Jr.

Mani is being extra cautious about not incurring the wrath of religious groups and has done away with an intimate scene between Aishwarya and her kidnapper.

Abhishek’s sister commits suicide after being humiliated by Vikram (who plays Ash’s husband), so Abhi kidnaps Ash and takes her into the jungle.

Over time, they develop feelings for each other and there’s a subtle love track between them.
