Shaad Ali the real Hanuman

In Mani Ratnam’s Raavana, Govinda plays Hanuman, while Vikram, the star from the south, plays Ram. After directing films like Saathiya, and Bunty Aur BubliJhoom Barabar Jhoom, Shaad Ali should ideally be concentrating on getting his next with Yash Raj Films. Instead, Shaad prioritised his mentor Mani Ratnam’s film and rushed to the south to assist him.

Shaad Ali’s involvement goes deeper than the professional commitment. He also plays Mani’s nursemaid and right-hand man. When Mani Ratnam was hospitalised for his heart problem, Shaad Ali was at his bedside constantly.

As far as his YRF film is concerned, it was supposed to take off early next year. Mani Ratnam’s health has delayed that project. An unperturbed Shaad has informed Aditya Chopra to push back the plans as well. Shaad’s new film has three heroes and three heroines, newcomers in all probability.
