The shooting of Superstar Rajinikanth’s forthcoming film ‘Kochadaiyaan’ will start in the second week of January 2012 (post Pongal) and will be completed by the end of March. This has been confirmed by K S Ravikumar, who is supervising the film.


Besides penning the story, screenplay and dialogues, Ravikumar, the lucky mascot of the Superstar, is also assisting Rajini’s daughter Soundarya Ashwin in directing the movie. “Rajini sir is so impressed with the story,” he says.

Ravikumar adds: “The script work is completely over. The film will hit the floors after January 15 and will be wrapped by March. It will be one of the landmark movies in the history of Tamil cinema and will be a treat to the Superstar’s fans.”

The director of ‘Nattamai’, ‘Padayappa’ and ‘Dasavatharam’ also clears the air by saying that a serial that is being published by a Tamil weekly under the name ‘Kochadaiyaan’ has no connection with the story of the Superstar starrer.
