Cine Snippet: Maniratnam, a barber in Raavan

It would be right to say that like most superstars hero Abhishek Bachchan is extremely particular about his hair and styles himself. From the time when he sported long hair and made the hair band, he has always experimented with his hair.

However, what is not known to the world is the fact that during the shooting of ‘Yuva’ it was none other than Maniratnam who wanted Abhishek to don a different hairdo. Given Abhishek’s fetish for his hair, the actor decided against the directors suggestion, but only with a promise.

Abhishek promised Maniratnam that one day he would allow him to cut his hair and he will only do it specially for Mani. It was finally during the shooting of Raavan when Maniratnam fulfiled his long standing desire to chop off Abhishek’s hair. On the first day of the shoot in Kerala, Mani himself gave Abhishek a hair cut.
