Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kishan is grateful to his "Raavan" co-stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai for saving his life from a poisonous snake while shooting in the jungle.

"I used to lie down either on the river bank or in the bushes between shots to take some rest. I was lying on a rock when I heard them screaming, 'Get up or you will die'. I got up and saw that a nine-foot-long poisonous snake was approaching me, " said Ravi.

"If you are seeing Ravi Kishan alive in front of you, it is just because of this wonderful couple, " added the actor who is playing Abhishek's elder brother in the film.

Releasing Friday, "Raavan" has been co-produced by Reliance BIG Pictures and Madras Talkies. In the film, Abhishek will be seen as villain Beera, while Aishwarya is a dance teacher who is happily married to a policeman, played by Tamil superstar Vikram.
