Mani Ratnam’s New Year Gift to Nikhil
Nikhil Dwivedi will have to lose his hair to win a role in Mani Ratnam’s film Ravana. Reports said that Mani Ratnam thought Nikhil might fit the role of Laxman in his prestigious venture Ravana. Nikhil was then asked to come down to Chennai for a look test. Nikhil’s look was approved, only thing he had to cut his hair short. Even though Nikhil was supposed to start shooting for Shivam Nair’s film, he agreed to cut his crop just for Mani sir and since the role meant a big thing to him.
Nikhil has said it was New Year’s Eve, that is the 31st of December when he went to Chennai and by the time he finished his meeting and got back to Mumbai, it was past 12am that is New Year’s Day! So, the role for Nikhil is a New Year’s gift.

And, of course, what makes it even more special is the fact that Nikhil is achieving all this solely on his own merit without having godfather or filmi connection to help him. To bag biggies like Mani Ratnam’s films without any help is definitely a big achievement.
