"We will resume shooting tomorrow (Friday)," Sivan said.
The tusker, whose name is Kunju, killed 51-year-old mahout Andavan. After the incident, the road at nearby Athirapally forest was blocked and the cast and crew of Mani Ratnam's film could not return to their hotel.
"We didn't see much since we were shooting on the other side of the bridge... so we couldn't cross over... we had to stop shooting, but I didn't see anything except the confusion. We had to spend a few hours in a guest house in the forest," said Sivan.
Neither the actors nor any crew member of the film was injured.
Later the elephant was chained and tranquilised by veterinary doctors.
Besides Abhishek and Aishwarya, Raavan also stars Vikram, Govinda and Manisha Koirala. It is being made in Hindi and Tamil simultaneously.
