Some revelations on Mani's Guru

Oct 15, 2006

Manirathnam's Guru is all set to hit the screens during the month of December before Christmas. The movie stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead. Madhavan portrays the antagonist. The other stars in the movie include Vidya Balan, Mallika Sherawat, Mithun Chakraborty, Arya Babbar, Darrshan Jariwalla, and Deepak Yadav. Madhavan is rumored to be playing a villain – just as he did in Yuva – and cast opposite Vidya Balan.

Earlier reports suggested that the movie is loosely based on the life of Ambhani. However, Abhishek denied the rumors and it is being speculated now that the movie is a mature love story. Mani writes the script with the help of Suhasini. Veterans of the industry like Rahman, Gulzar, and Rajiv Menon join hands with Mani in Guru.

The plans of producing the movie parallely in Hindi and English were later shelved.

.Noted composer Bappi Lahari has recorded a song for the movie and so did singer Madhusree in Rahman's music. Apara Mehta, who is admired in the mini screen, turned down the offer to play Aishwarya Rai's mother in the film.

Interesting Mani considered Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham, Ajay Devgan, Saif Ali Khan, and Kunal Kapoor for the part of the male villain, who was to cast opposite Vidya Balan. Madhavan finally bagged the offer
