Amitabh not happy with Raavan

After the world premiere of ‘Raavan’, Amitabh Bachchan praised ‘Raavan’ to the heavens but three days after the release of the film, Amitabh talked about the poor editing. He feels that poor editing has ruined Abhishek’s role. ‘Raavan’ received a mixed review.

But standing in support of Mani and the film, actor Vikram and cinematographer Santosh Sivan spoke against Big B. He tweeted, "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.

".. 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?”

Speaking in support of the film, Santosh Sivan said, "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 who played the role of Abhishek in the Tamil version received good reviews for his performance. "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 its good, some say its bad. You are the ones who decide," said Vikram.

Media misinterpreted Big B’s statement and the next day he twisted his statement and said that Mani is one of the finest directors of the industry that he would always love to work with.
