The festival is going to start this Wednesday and will showcase the Tamil and Hindi versions of the Mani Ratnam film Raavanan and Raavan. “That Girl In Yellow Boots’ by Anurag Kashyap will also be screened at the festival.
A source close to Abhi-Ash was quoted saying that both the actors are unable to attend the Venice Film Festival as it was reported because their previous commitments fall on the same dates as the festival.
