The actors and the director talked about the movie and about their experiences to the audience. The actors talked about their characters and the movie but they were very careful not to disclose too much information about the movie.

The stage was set to resemble the dense forest as shown in the backdrop of the movie. Everything was done to create the similar environment the audience have seen in the trailers of Raavanan Tamil movie.

Raavanan is the name of the Tamil version of the movie. In this version, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vikram and Prithviraj Sukumaran played the lead roles. In the Hindi version, Abhishek Bachchan plays the male lead.

Actor Karthik and Priyamani gave a warm welcome to the audience and set the mood of the show. Then the audience was shown trailers of the movie. The cinematography, the location and the landscapes were very much liked by the audience. It is quite obvious because when there is a director Mani Ratnam, nothing could go wrong.

The singers and actors also performed in the show. Singer Karthik first sang 'Usirey Poguthey.' The music of Raavanan has been composed by A R Rahman. This was followed by Vikram’s dance performance to the song ‘Kodu Potta.’ Vikram plays the anti-hero in the movie.

The center of the show was the soulful performance of A. R. Rahman along with famous lyricist, Vairamuthu.

Raavanan is going to release in theatres on June 18, 2010. A Telugu version named Villain will also be released in theatres.
