Actor Vikram and director Mani Ratnam pose during a photo call at the 67th Venice Film Festival on Monday.

The two are in Venice for the screening of their out-of-competition film Raavan.

The other cast of Aishwarya Rai [ Images ] and husband Abhishek Bachchan [ Images ] could not attend the screening of their film due to prior commitments with their brand endorsements.

Raavan and Raavanan -- the Hindi and Tamil versions of Mani Ratnam's film -- and Anurag Kashyap's That Girl In Yellow Boots are some of the movies being screened at the festival.
