The multi starrer and the much hyped film, Raavan have caught some bad criticism. The legendary star, Amitabh Bachchan says, bad editing ruined Abhishek’s performance.

 

Although, Raavan opened to 20 crores in its first opening, but Big B is dissatisfied with the editing part, especially for his son’s character, Beera.

 

Big B says on twitter “sad" editing ruined Abhishek's role. But, the other major stars of the movie have spoken against it.

 

Vikram and Santosh Sivan say ,“Lot of merited film edited out, causing inconsistent performance and narrative. Abhishek's erratic behavior was due to symbolic 10 heads visually appearing and each giving him different attitudes to adopt for a situation, he would then finally shake them off and decide.”

Big B tweeted ,“It’s sad; in the edit you only see the after effect of that thinking process, hence inconsistent. In the edit all the visual heads got cut and you see a confused Beera expression and wonder why?”

 

Cinematographer Santosh Sivan defended the director Mani Ratnam and said that the director’s caliber can’t be questioned. Sivan also got universal recognition for the movie Raavan.

 

Sivan says “I personally think everyone has a right to their own opinion. At the end of the day, it's the director's call. It's a different view point he has taken on 'Raavanan' which is a huge hit in the South.”

 

Vikram added on this, “I respect Mr Bachchan and I respect Mani sir. It's not something I can comment about as it's between Mani Sir and him though..(To the audience) You can hear a hundred things, some say it’s good, some say it’s bad. You are the ones who decide.”

But, Amitabh Bachchan was unhappy with the media and said that his statements on twitter are twisted and remade and he never meant anything bad for Mani Ratnam.

 

He added ,“there has and shall always be respect and dignity for him (Mani Ratnam).. Media playing with words. Mani is one of our finest directors.. he should never stop making films.”
