Animatied Rajni, don't know how well that will go with fans ....
Kochadaiyaan: Rajinikanth is 'fit and fine', finally completes his film
After a combat scene with Deepika in London and singing a song composed by A R Rahman, the 62-year-old ailing star takes Kochadaiyaan to the finishing line
Rajinikanth's legions of fans around the globe may now breathe easy. Their icon's much-awaited film Kochadaiyaan, co-starring Deepika Padukone, has finally wrapped up and could hit theatres later this year. The historical drama, produced by Rajini's daughter Soundarya and Eros, written by K S Ravikumar, is Rajini's first film after his long and serious brush with illness. But Kochadaiyaan's sheer scale and the star's unstable health had led to the film missing its August 2012 deadline.
Ravikumar who wrote Kochadaiyaan when Rajinikanth was recuperating in a hospital in Singapore, said: "We are late because we had to put in a lot more work than we had imagined. We are done with the shoot, and will now start dubbing."
According to the writer, none of the action sequences had to be toned down because of the star's fragile health. "The action sequences were all shot indoor. The audiences will see Rajini in the avatar he is famous for - fit and fabulous," he said.
Though extremely tight-lipped about the film, Ravikumar let it slip that one of the high points in the film is a combat scene between Rajini and Deepika, who plays a princess. "Shot in London, it has the two in a deadly face-off," he smiles, adding, "And it looks stunning."
It is not just the high-octane action sequences that the 62-year-old star has pushed himself to do in the film, he has also sung a track set to tune by A R Rahman. "It was Soundarya's idea," reveals Ravikumar.
Soundarya had attempted to make an animation film with her father, but for some reason, the film was scrapped. "Frankly speaking, everybody was nervous when Soundarya started this film. Rajini Sir had just started to recover. But I don't know why I had a gut feeling that we'll be able to pull it off. Rajini Sir's will power and the blessings of his fans really helped," he says.
There's nothing that Rajini can't...
