Nikhil gives in to Mani's demands

You heard the adage right? To win a role in Mani Ratnam's film Raavana, Nikhil Dwivedi had to lose his hair! 

Well, the story goes that Mani saw the actor in My Name is Anthony Gonsalves and thought he might fit the role of Laxman in his prestigious venture. Nikhil was then asked to come down to Chennai for a test. His look was approved, only he had to cut his hair short. And, even though Nikhil was shooting for Shivam Nair's film, he agreed to cut his hair just for Mani's film. After all, how can one say no to Mani, right?
