His character in Raavana is based on the Maoist leader

Contrary to popular perception, Abhishek Bachchan's character in Mani Ratnam's Raavana is not based only on the mythological demon. In fact, Abhishek will be seen spouting Maoist ideologies ala Kobad Gandhy in the film. The real inspiration for Abhishek's character Veera came from the Maoist leader. Mani especially appointed researchers to get all the data they can on Kobad so that he can base Veera on him.



Who is Kobad Ghandy?

Kobad Ghandy is a member of the banned Communist Party of India- Maoist. His main role was to get the support of the urban educated middle classes for their ideology. Originally from Bombay, he studied at the St Xavier's College and did his chartered accountancy from London. The law enforcement agencies finally arrested him in September 2009 in South Delhi.
