Mani Rathnam's Ravana, which was halted by the
forest department of Kerala in Malayatoor forest range near Kochi in
Kerala, might resume again from Tuesday.
Sources close to Mani Ratnam, said, "We would try to
convince the forest officials and seek their approval to continue
shooting from Tuesday. In case, the forest department denies permission
to continue shooting, the alternative choice would be to shoot in the
jungles of Sri Lanka."
The forest officials found that the director had
constructed temporary thatched huts in prohibited areas inside the
forest. After the forest department found the violation, they ordered
the shooting to be stopped.
The film unit claims that they had put up temporary
huts to protect their costly equipments from the incessant rains in the
area. The Tamil version features Vikram, Prithviraj and Priyamani among others.
