Guru plot and cast
Directed and co-written by Mani Ratnam, Guru was largely based on the life of one of India’s biggest industrial icon, Dhirubhai Ambani. The ambitious businessman from Gujarat climbs the ladder of success with his wife. Alongside Aishwarya and Abhishek, the film also stars R Madhavan, Vidya Balan, and Mithun Chakraborty.
According to Hindustan Times, Abhishek proposed Aishwarya right after the premiere of the film in New York. He said in an interview that he was filming in New York for a film and he used to stand on the balcony of his hotel room wishing that ‘one day, wouldn’t it be nice if he was together with Aishwarya, married’. After few years, the duo was in New York again for the premiere of Guru. Thus, after the premiere, they were back in the hotel and he took Aishwarya to the very same balcony and asked her to marry him.
