Mani
Ratnam is very secretive by nature and all his
projects are kept under wraps till the release and
for his latest film Guru he made the lead actors
and the crew sign confidentiality bonds!
Well, now the cat is out of the bag! Guru seems to
be based on the life and times of India’s
biggest textile tycoon-The late Dhirubhai Ambani.
According to industry sources the film takes a
hard look at the phenomenal rise and the making of
the Ambani Empire right from his early days in
Aden (in the film it is shown as Turkey). |

Abhishek Bachchan plays Dhirubhai Ambani and Aishwarya Rai plays his wife Kokilaben the simple lady. The basic plot of the film... ... hinges on the famous Ambani philosophy-accomplishing what others think is impossible. In the film, Mithun Chakravarthgy plays a sophisticated negative character pitted against Abhishek (shades of Bombay Dyeing chairman Nusli
Wadia?)

Mani is also giving Guru a romantic touch with some great melodies tuned by A.R.Rahman and has shot the first schedule in Turkey with the lead actors. Mallika Sherawat plays a crucial cameo, which plays a significant part in the narrative of the film. Just recently there was a buzz that whoever has caught a sneak peak of Mani Ratnams GURU cannot stop raving about Abhishek
Bachchan.

Apparently its a landmark role for Aby baby and is one of his finest performances so far. According to reports in a tabloid, he has been Mani Ratnams favourite ever since YUVA days and he is very impressed by
Abhishek. He only wanted to cast Bachchan Junior in GURU and the latter agreed to do it without any second thoughts. He has a grey shade to his character that spans over a period of 40 years.
Well its not just Abhishek who has smitten the talented director. He is equally in awe of Aishwaraya Rai for her devotion towards work.

Storyline:
In a small village of Idhar in Gujarat, a young man dreams of making it big one day. His father a headmaster of the village school tells him that dreams never come true.
But this young lad did dream. As he grew up, so did his dreams. He loved
Idhar. It was quiet, peaceful, lazy and green. But he knew that his destiny was beyond this village...
Set in the picturesque beauty of the 1958, Bombay, this young man comes to the city of fortune with only two shirts, a wife, a brother-in-law and Rs.15,000 to start a business.
But all doors were shut for a newcomer. Indian business and trade were run by a handful of the rich and the privileged. Only they were given the licenses. They had the quotas and they controlled all government trade. |

It was an exclusive club where it was impossible for an ordinary middle class newcomer to enter, let alone succeed.
He had to kick the doors open or cajole them to open. He did both and would not take no for an answer. And that's because he never knew the word 'no'.
Despite all barriers, he started his own company called Shakti Trading in a 350 sq feet room, with one telephone, one table and three chairs.
Forty years on, Shakti Corporation became the first Indian company to enter the Forbes top 500 lists. People asked him how this happened and he said think big, think ahead and think fast.
Guru is a movie in which a poor villager goes from rags to riches due to his sheer determination and personal drive, despite being faced with many business barriers.
Film is said to release in 2007 it sees the much talked about Bollywood couple, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in stella roles. |
