Aishwarya was earlier seen in Ratnam's 'Iruvar' and 'Guru', in which Abhishek was in the main lead.

While shooting for 'Ravan' in the jungles of Kerala, the entire cast and crew had a scary experience when an elephant ran amok and killed 51-year-old mahout Andavan.

The actors including Abhishek, Aishwarya, Vikram, Prabhu and Munna had to take shelter in a guest house.

According to sources, the film personalities spent the night in the forest guest house and survived on bread and eggs. After 12 hours of tension and waiting, the crew returned to their hotel.

Now the cast and crew of 'Ravan' has moved to Ooty where the remaining portions of the film will be shot.
