Mumbai, November 09: Unlike filmmakers who take their film’s final print to religious places prior to its release, Rensil D’Silva, whose directorial debut film Kurbaan is set to release next week, plans to show his film to his guru Mani Ratnam.
Rensil wants Mani to be the first person to see the film’s final print and seek his blessings. A source close to Rensil said, “Rensil is a fan of Mani sir and interacts with him both personally and professionally. He also worked with Mani sir on Raavana. In fact, Rensil can keep talking at length about Mani sir. When Rensil was ready with the final print of the film, he decided that the first person to see it should only be Mani sir.”
However, it has not been decided yet where Mani Ratnam plans to see the film since he is currently shooting for the Aishwarya-Abhishek Bachchan starrer Raavana in Hyderabad. “It all depends on his schedule. If Mani sir comes to Mumbai then he will see it here or Rensil will take the film print to Hyderabad,” said the source.
