Mani Rathnam's Ravana, which was halted by the forest department of Kerala in Malayatoor forest range near Kochi in Kerala, might resume again from Tuesday.
Sources close to Mani Ratnam, said, "We would try to convince the forest officials and seek their approval to continue shooting from Tuesday. In case, the forest department denies permission to continue shooting, the alternative choice would be to shoot in the jungles of Sri Lanka."
The forest officials found that the director had constructed temporary thatched huts in prohibited areas inside the forest. After the forest department found the violation, they ordered the shooting to be stopped.
The film unit claims that they had put up temporary huts to protect their costly equipments from the incessant rains in the area. The Tamil version features Vikram, Prithviraj and Priyamani among others.
