"Roshan has never been to India but the course of the film brings him to his ancestral home for the first time. The challenge of the character was to stick out and blend into the surroundings." he said.

Abhishek is working with Mani Ratnam for the third time in ‘Ravana’ where his co-star is his wife Aishwarya.

"Mani continues to push the envelop and do something new each time. We like to work with each other. This is also my second film with Ash after our marriage and it continues to be a wonderful experience to work with her."

He has earlier worked with Mani Ratnam in ‘Yuva’ and ‘Guru’.

Abhishek says he is proud of his wife's achievement.

Aishwarya recently received Padamshri award for her contribution to Indian cinema.

"It is a great honour to receive. I am proud of Aishwarya. Truly well deserved. I feel very blessed to be a part of a family which has received this honour 5 times," he said.

Abhishek has no regrets about some of his films not working at the box office last year and considers them to be a learning experience.

"Last year was a great learning experience for me. I don't have any regrets or complaints. I got to work in such diverse film in one year. 'Sarkaar Raaj', 'Drona' and 'Dostana'. A good film will work and a bad one won't." he added.
