It was being bandied about that Superstar Rajinikanth would be lending his voice for a song in the upcoming magnum opus Kochadaiyaan directed by younger daughter Soundarya Ashwin.
Meanwhile, sources have it that the song has been titled “Ethirigal Illai…” and has been penned by veteran lyricist Vairamuthu.
Rajinikanth’s fans, who have been anxiously waiting for quite some time now, had a reason to rejoice yesterday (Apr 21).
Soundarya, who recently denied rumours of a possible teaser release on Apr14, had promised some new stills from Thalaivar’s 3D film. The young director kept her word by tweeting this still.
The new big budget movie from Rajinikanth Kochadaiyan will offer something special for Malayalees to cheer. The movie will have none other than Shobana as the heroine to the title character.
Superstar Rajinikanth will appear in a double role in this movie as ‘Kochadaiyaan’, the right hand of the emperor and his son ‘Rana’. Deepika Padukone will be paired to the other character, Rana.
Superstar Rajinikanth's Kochadaiyaan has been in the news from the day it was announced.
The film directed by the actor's younger daughter Soundarya has shaped up well and is in the post-production phase.
Meanwhile, there is talk that the film may have its trailer released during the Cannes Film Festival in May.
However, there is buzz that the fans may get an even earlier glimpse with the makers planning a first look teaser, which may be released on Tamil New Year day (April 14).
Deepika Padukone, who is part of Superstar Rajinikanth's magnum opus Kochadaiyaan is a busy actress in Bollywood.
She has, however, taken time off to perform at the IPL opening ceremony on April 2.
Superstar Rajinikanth is known for his quick-fire ways. The actor has got down to the work of dubbing his dialogues for the first half of the big-ticket film Kochadaiyaan in the space of just one day.
Superstar Rajinikanth seems to be pretty happy with the way Kochadaiyaan has shaped up. The actor recently watched a show with the crew along with the direction supervisor K S Ravikumar and was thrilled with the outcome.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that the film wouldn't be only about Rajinikanth alone. Apart from his romance with Deepika Padukone, there would also be a full-length action sequence between Rajini and Deepika, which might delight the audience.
On Thursday, the fully edited version of Kochadaiyaan was viewed by Superstar Rajinikanth, K S Ravikumar, Soundarya R Ashwin and other members of the team.
Rajini has apparently signed his next film with Eros International. The film is to be directed by K V Anand of Ko-fame and is expected to go on floors after Kochadaiyaan and Rana are completed.
The title, cast and the technical team are yet to be decided for the film which is to be made on an approximate budget of 100 crores.
There was speculation that actor Aadhi would be teaming up with director Samy again, after the acclaimed Mirugam. However, the Aravaan actor has denied that he had been approached by the controversial filmmaker for the second part of Mirugam.
