Guru le hogayee mai shuroooooooooo!!!

Han to doston… Directed by Mani Ratnam, who has written the script with Suhasini Mani Ratnam and Anurag Kashyap, Guru, is said to be a mature love story. The film was shot in Turkey and Bagalkot, Karnataka, as well as in Chennai. The architecture and mood of the film is so meticulous that one is instantly transported to the Bombay of the 1950s.

Mani Ratnam films are always prooned in secrecy and when they release they just take the audience by a whirlwind. This time Mani didn’t even narrate the entire script to anyone except Abhishek Bachchan who plays the title role and is in the film from the beginning to end.

The unit members share that “No actor from Mani’s repertoire has ever had a chance to play a role like the one Abhishek plays in Guru. His character starts in his 20s in the Bombay of 1950s and ages to 65. Abhishek not only had to put on weight but had to be fitted with a specially made bodysuit to make him look bulky and obese. It took him four hours every day in the sweltering sun just to get into the bodysuit and another hour at the end of the day to get out of costume. But at the end of the day the effort was worth his while.”

Wooph, bulky Abhishek? But of course the risk is worth taking for Mani! Stay tuned for the next piece of Guru people!
