Super Star RAJINIKANTH IN AS Kochadaiyaan || ARR|| Directed by Soundarya Rajnikanth

[Avadi to America]

if so, then there is no point in releasing teasers/trailers for any movies..

besides, i was referring to the whole process of 7 years where the daughter just used rajini's name to get away with her laziness..

I'm not going to support each and every action of rajini and his family....

What does it mean? I do not know what's the reason behind the delay....problems may include finance, technology, incapability to handle technology, poor project management skill, personal commitment...it could be anything...

I think the primary reasons could be finance and incapability to handle the project... but i'm sure for one reason... the teaser is better than SUltan-the warrior... I expect the movie will follow the same.

The Way I looked at this whole Sultan / Koachadiiyaannnn Project was , it was Rajini's daughter's pet project. As a father he ok-ed his daughter's dream project period. Funding, schedule, technological challenges, More players like EROS, KSR getting involved all happened because of various factors like success of shivaji and enthiran and his health issues Rana got shelf-ed.

May be the whole team underestimated challenges , thinking just like our Indian offshore teams . We can do anything and everything attitude without understanding what they are getting in to.
To make matters worse , Soundaryji went around claiming , this will be in- par with Bewolf (which was crude hollywood attempt using MO-CAP) compared to what they have done with this technology over the years. She created more buzz by involving some renowned western studios and making videos, I told people than it was immature and I am telling you now it is an immature marketing. So people had higher expectation from end product (maybe). I am not one of them

Knowing Indian standards , this end product will never be close to "International Quality". We lack basics things like Discipline, Creativity, Passion". I sincerely hope future generations come out of these boundaries and create something we are proud of.

This project is in right direction for creating a new market in Indian cinema. I am not sure whether this will be a 100% perfect product which will wow the audiences, that only time can answer.

All I (most RK fans) care is to see him on screen in some form.

A2A / Dilbert,
Yes, the problem could be anything. Given such a situation, I think Kochadaiiyan respected the TTM (time to market). Some "smoking smiley" poster exaggerated a bit pulling in the Sultan episode without knowing what to fish in which waters. That's a known syndrome when a person jumps from posting smileys to sentences.

I will not coin it as delay, but the time taken can be justified. As we don't have a proper data on the project execution, I would consider the lack of technology mastery playing a big factor. Secondly, the capturing part would have taken a while as its not the same type of screen-writing nor direction. Its a very demanding task for all the participants as "imagination" is the only clue given to them. Thirdly, the processing part which would have taken the most amount of time and as said by KSR each unit is placed around several corners of the world + one unit's final product is the next unit's initial requirement. So most of the units were paid to be on standby which shoots up the production cost. Add in the delay/errors which shudders down the project planning. Fourthly the major part is with the director to give in all the inputs to be integrated as the environment. Last but not least, coloring, corrections, music, RR and all. So the TTM is quite large and it would be interesting to see the road-map of the project, which we obviously can't.

If you take Sony, NaughtyDog or UBIsoft, they have their own technical team which could work round the clock for a year or 2 to bring out a final product. As a gamer, I followed few launch stuff through PS3 portal + followed the development of certain games. So I can see the delay when a project of this magnitude is taken up in India. Maybe Soundarya would open many doors for future aspects in TFI, but pathetically she got to take in all the criticisms too. I would support any director or film maker wrt illogical & personnel criticisms even though I am more towards the audience views.

In my POV a "lazy" director cannot even come out with a teaser and only a person who is "lazy" to understand could say au contraire.

project like this needs a lot more preproduction work than regular movies including story narration and visualization....If they had started to do work on this script only after thalivar got ill (as KSR claims). Then I do not want to comment on their preproduction plan. I'm not sure how many years of experience she has in the industry to direct a full length movie or animation/cartoon/3D movie set aside the rajini factor which demands more from any technician. If she really wants to immortalize her dad, she should have started smaller project (like prototype) to test the water in terms of technical capability, financial viability and market reaction etc.
Comparing each and every movie with Hollywood is like comparing recent movies BO performance with enthiran in TFI....the bench marker is not going to change, at least for the near future.... It is rubbish to talk our movies is reaching the standards of Hollywood. slogans like "If we have money we could do better". Money is secondary in the world. As dilbert mentioned, we as Indians fundamentally lag few things.

No bro, I did not mean it like that , Ayirathil Oruvan was "Primarily" based upon Chola dynasty, (though it had a pandian dynasty elements to it), so it would be interesting to see a story primarily based on Pandian dynsaty nu sonnEn that's all

KSR is no selvaraghavan... IMO, KSR will not delve much into pandya dynasty lifestyle, their conquests, politics etc., I am just expecting a neat commercial package with some good punches thrown into the script
