If the name Nikhil Dwivedi doesn't ring a bell, then the film name of My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves surely will, whereby he played the lead opposite the petite actress Amrita Rao. Nikhil who is currently awaiting the release of his second film, Khallballi - Fun Unlimited, has bagged the pivotal and plum role of Lakshman in Raavana, that's being directed by Mani Ratnam! Rumors are strife that Ratnam had considered lot of top rung actors for the said role, which ultimately fell in the lap of Nikhil Dwivedi. According to some of the sources, Mani Ratnam saw great potential in Nikhil, after watching My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves, and that Ratnam also flew down especially to Mumbai just before he left for a month long schedule in Orcha in MP and personally supervised the Nikhil's new look. Nikhil apparently, was asked to cut his long tresses for a much shorter hairdo. For the uninformed, Ramayana is a modern adaptation of the mythological epic and has the Tamil superstar Vikram playing the character of modern day Lord Ram alongside Aishwarya Rai who plays Sita. If that was not enough, Mani has roped in Govinda to play Lord Hanuman while Raavana is being played by Abhishek Bachchan.
