Remember Abhishek Bachchan starrer Raavan? The movie was a flop in terms of its collections at the box office, but a lot of people say it was not so bad and rather a good one-time watch film. Starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles, Raavan was directed, co-produced and co-written by Mani Ratnam, a filmmaker who is known for his movies including Roja (1992), Dil Se (1998) and Guru (2007) among others.
