Abhishek Bachchan is back with Mani Ratnam in 'Raavan' and the star feels that the filmmaker is the only one in the industry, who know his true potential as an actor.

"I think Mani is the only one who knows my true talent. He knows it better than I know myself. He shows me what I am capable of. After I did 'Yuva', I could not believe it was me on the screen doing a character like Lallan. Same goes with 'Guru'," Abhiskek said in a video conference from Mumbai.

In a decade long career of his, Abhishek, who made his debut with JP Dutta's 'Refugee' 2000, has given some of his career's best performances in Ratnam's films like 'Yuva' and 'Guru'. In fact, it was 'Yuva' in 2003, which established Abhishek as a performer.
