Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz [Thursday, August 17, 2006]
2006 has been a great year so far with variety of subjects making an impression and raking in moolah at the box office. Well, the year ahead promises to end on a bright note too with Mani Ratnam's 'Guru' being one of the last films of the year that is aiming for a December 22 release.
The first look of the film alone has created an immense buzz about it with just three words summing up the essence of 'Guru' - VILLAGER, VISIONARY, WINNER!
The shot shows Abhishek Bachchan from behind with his black coat on while addressing hundreds of villagers who wait for him in thunderous rain with their umbrellas on. Sepia look of the frame only adds on to the effect.
Comprising of an excellent starcast of Mithun Chakraborty, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Madhavan, John Abraham, Vidya Balan and Kunal Kapoor along with Mallika Sherawat and Arya Babbar, 'Guru' has music by A.R.Rehman, lyrics by Gulzar, cinematography by Rajiv Menon, action by Vikram Dharma, art by Sabu Cyril/Samir Chanda, editing by Sreekar Prasad and dialogues by Anurag Kashyap. Apart from direction, Mani Ratnam also handles the story and screenplay department.

John Abraham and Kunal Kapoor were considered for Maddy's role intially. They are not in Guru that am dead sure.

Rajeev Masand: You worked in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Yuva’ which people say has been your best performance so far. Now that you are again working with him in ‘Guru’, playing a character whose span from a young man to an elderly person has been covered as a journey, what else is special that you find in it?
Abhishek Bachchan: Mani Ratnam is indeed the most special aspect of Guru. When he is directing a film, an actor doesn’t need to ask for anything else.
I signed Yuva without even hearing its script. It was weird.
I knew Mani from the days when he made Bombay because ABCL Ltd then had distributed the film. Shad (Ali) arranged my meeting with him and there he asked me if I would be interested in working with him. I almost fell off my chair. Here I was sitting in front of Mani Ratnam and it he who was asking me, whether I wanted to work with him or not. I was almost going to ask him, “Do I have to pay you for giving me a role in your film?”
Getting the chance to work with him for a second time is truly a blessing, because you have got over with the fear of working with ‘ Mr Mani Ratnam’ and have become more comfortable with him. To add to it, Aishwarya (Rai) who started her career with Mani is also a part of the film. Everybody knew each other, so it was very comfortable.
Any role that Mani gives you is assured to be interesting, intriguing and very tough.
Guru has been a very tough film and challenging to do. I hope it turns rewarding, more so for Mani because he has worked very hard on it. He is truly a genius and deserves every bit of the credit that he gets.
Rajeev Masand: Is it true that Guru is inspired by the real life story of Dhiru Bhai Ambani?
Abhishek Bachchan: I don’t think I can rightfully comment on this because Mani would be answer this question. But I’m sure Mani has been inspired my many persons. I don’t think it is particularly based on any body’s life.
Many people have inspired Mani. He is somebody who is very ‘worldly wise’ and like most directors he too derives inspiration from different things. I think it could be an amalgamation of many inspirational stories. I’m sure he never wants to convey that such-and-such film is depicting so-and-so’s life.
