Guru

Director Manirathinam has chosen to postpone the release of Guru.

The movie featuring Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Madhavan in the lead roles was initially slated for release in the third week of December.

Sources close to Manirathinam say the director has chosen to defer the release. Guru will hit the screens on 12 January, 2007 nationwide.

Also the Tamil dubbing version of the movie would be released on the same day.

Eager fans of Manirathinam should wait for few more days to see Guru.

Actor Suriya lends his voice for Abhishek Bachchan in the Tamil dubbing version. Bollywood siren Bipasha Basu does an item number in the movie.

Rahman has scored music for the movie. Vairamuthu is penning the lyrics in Tamil.

It may be recalled that in the past both Madhavan and Aravindswamy, introduced by Manirathinam, have dubbed for other actors in Manirathnam's movies.

Guru has script by Suhasini Manirathinam and cinematography by Rajeev Menon.

In the film, Abhishek plays an ordinary villager, who rises to become a big industrialist in his life.
