Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan, says he opted out of director Mani Ratnam's Tamil version of 'Raavan', where he was originally slated to play the role of 'Dev', due to language problems.

"When Mani decided to make 'Raavan' it was only in Hindi.

The idea of Tamil version came in later. He told me to swap roles from 'Beera' in Hindi to 'Dev' in Tamil. Even though I agreed initially, I realised that I would not be able to do justice to the role since I am not comfortable with the language," Abhishek told PTI.

"I told Mani that I did not want to do a film in a language which I did not understand. It is important for an actor know the language... Aishwarya is in both the versions because she knows it," he said.
