Mani Ratnam’s Ravan stirs another controversy
August 22, 2009
The Ahmednagar forest officials have filed a case against the Ravan team for erecting a film set inside the jungle. From what we hear from our sources, when the forest officers came to know about the sets that were erected without obtaining proper permission for filming a few scenes of Ravan, they immediately filed a case against eleven of the crew members.
It is worth a mention here that this is not the first time the Mani Ratnam directed Ravan is running into trouble. Earlier, the team ran into trouble with the forest officials in Ernakulam for chopping off tress without permission
