superstar Rajinikant, everything is on a massive scale. In his upcoming film Kochadaiyaan

Doing something ordinary is not his style, be it the cost of his films, his fees or his numerous fans. For superstar Rajinikant, everything is on a massive scale. In his upcoming film Kochadaiyaan, Rajini’s fans can get closer to their hero as it is being shot in 3-D. It will be shot with similar technology used in James Cameron’s Avatar. While speaking about his experience shooting with his daughter and also the film’s director Soundarya R Ashwin, Rajinikant says he was apprehensive at first. “This is entirely different from a regular feature film and is tough because it requires a lot of imagination. Also getting into the skin of the character using motion technology is a challenge in itself. One needs to improvise and visualize getting into the character without make up and costume which is new for an old man like me,” says the cheerful actor.
On being asked about being directed by younger daughter, the proud dad gleamed. “At first, I was apprehensive that Soundarya will direct me and there was this sort of fatherly feeling. But by the third day I realised that it was just the director, that I was working with and not my daughter.” The actor has also sung a song in the film, the music of which is being composed by none other than music maestro A R Rahman. The big budget period film will also see actors like Deepika Padukone, Shobana, and Jackie Shroff amongst others.
