‘Guru’ the film set for December release

Indo-Asian News ServiceMumbai, Aug 30 (IANS) Mani Ratnam’s much talked about “Guru”, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, is scheduled to hit screens Dec 22.

The film will be seen as the grand finale for a year that churned out some of the biggest hits – “Rang De Basanti”, “Fanaa” and “Krrish” and also critically acclaimed “Omkara”.

“Guru” marks yet another leap in Abhishek’s career just like “Yuva” that catapulted him to the status of a “successful” actor, said sources that have seen the rushes of the film.

Some more screen scorchers will hit the marquee before “Guru”. The list includes Farhan Akhtar’s “Don”, J.P. Dutta’s “Umrao Jaan”, Shirish Kunder’s directorial debut “Jaaneman”, Sanjay Gadhvi’s “Dhoom 2″ and Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s “Eklavya”.

So it’s only fitting that the year ends with a film by none other than Mani Ratnam.
