The unseen scenes from 'Guru'
- ibnlive.com
There's a lot more to Mani Ratnam's Guru than one has seen on screen so far.
In the version that was played out in theatres across the world, Gurukant Desai (Abhishek Bachchan) and his wife Sujatha (Aishwarya Rai) are shown to have twin daughters.
But in the original version, Aishwarya first gives birth to a stillborn child. The birth takes place after she leaves Guru in the city, to go after her brother.
After the film's release, it was rumoured that Mithun Chakraborty was upset with Ratnam for cutting out on his screen-time despite shooting with him extensively.
One of the scenes that were chopped off shows the first time Mithun's character Manikdas Gupta begins to turn against Guru after being instigated by Textile tycoon Roshan.
In the film, Sujatha visits Manikdas Gupta at his house with her daughters. Her intention is to bring peace between her warring husband and the newspaper tycoon. What is left out of the movie is the scene where Guru is angry with his wife for going to his nemesis’s house.
Vidya Balan and R Madhavan's roles were also chopped off to bring the film within the set duration.
The Guru dvd is now in stores.
