Priyamani recalls that she was excited when Mani Ratnam called her to his office to narrate the storyline of Raavan and her role in it. When the director offered the role to her, all that he wanted to know was how good her Hindi was. When Priyamani replied it was quite good, the director called one of his assistants to converse with her in Hindi to test her linguistic skills. Satisfied with the accent, Mani offered the role, she gushes.Interestingly, Priyamani also bagged another Bollywood offer soon after this. It is the Ram Gopal Varma’s Raktha Charithra.
Ram Gopal Varma’s Raktha Charithra is based on a true life incident that happened in Andhra Pradesh a few years ago. It is also well known that Suriya marks his entry to Bollywood with this film. The movie we hear will go on for five hours and will be divided into two parts – something that is new to the Indian film industry.
