Apart from making exceptional films, Mani Rathnam holds a special courtesy for establishing his actors in a much different and unforeseen role.

Well, the best example would be Madhavan's role in ‘Aayitha Ezhuthu' and ‘Kannathil Mutthamittal'. The so-called ‘Chocolate Boy' shed his good-looking image and spotted himself so powerfully as a ruffian and revolutionary writer in those flicks.

Abhishek Bachchan wasn't any different, as Manirathnam transcended his actor prowess with ‘Yuva' and ‘Guru'.

And now, it's the turn of Vikram to strike gold, as Manirathnam has shot an exclusive trailer for his ‘Raavana' featuring Vikram alone.

Sources believe that the complete teaser would precisely deliver a glimpse on his breathtaking performance. Also, a different teaser for the Hindi version featuring the actor will be aired simultaneously.

It's noteworthy that Vikram plays ‘Raavana' in Tamil and ‘Ram' in Hindi version.
