News

starrer
Kochadaiyaan's
teaser,
which
was
launched
by
the
crew
recently,
got
a
mixed
response
from
the
audience
and
Rajini's
fans.
Few
people
were
also
disappointed
for
featuring
the
actor
in
cartoonist
manner.
In
response
to
this,
Soundarya
Rajinikanth
Ashwin,
who
is
directing
Kochadaiyaan,
has
cleared
that
it
is
an
animation
movie
but,
not
a
cartoon,
and
explained
the
differences
between
cartoon
and
animation.
Talking
to
a
leading
daily,
Soundarya
said,
"In
India,
people
think
animation
is
cartoon.
Avatar
was
animation,
but
is
not
a
cartoon.
Tintin
is
completely
cartoonistic.
I
am
creating
Rajinikanth,
where
he
has
actually
performed,
it's
captured
on
a
camera
and
then
put
into
a
3D
version."
Kochadaiyaan
is
based
on
the
life
of
Pandiyan
king
Kochadaiyaan
Ranadhiran.
The
movie
is
made
using
the
3D
motion
capturing
technology.
Director
Soudarya
also
expressed
her
happiness
for
completing
the
project
soon
and
said
that
they
have
taken
a
road,
which
was
never
taken
in
India
before
and
completed
the
film
in
just
a
year
and
a
half.
In
Kochadaiyaan,
Rajinikanth
will
be
playing
the
dual
role
of
father
and
son.
Shobana,
Deepika
Padukone,
Sarath
Kumar
and
Jackie
Shroff
will
also
be
seen
as
main
leads.
While
Shobana
is
paired
opposite
Rajinikanth
senior,
Bollywood
Diva
Deepika
Padukone
plays
the
love
interest
role
of
Rajinikanth
junior
in
the
movie.
Soundarya,
the
younger
daughter
of
Rajinikanth,
shared
her
experience
working
with
her
dad.

Soundarya
Loves
To
See
Her
Dad
Performing
Soundarya
said,
"First
and
foremost,
it
was
such
a
blessing
directing
him
in
my
first
film.
I
would
say
'action'
but
even
when
the
scene
was
over,
I
would
not
say
'cut'
as
I
just
wanted
to
continue
seeing
him
perform."
Rajinikanth
Felt
Awkward
Seeing
Rajinikanth's
perform
so
brilliantly,
Soundarya
got
excited
and
began
applauding.
This
apparently
was
quite
an
awkward
gesture
for
Rajinikanth
(as
she
was
directing
him).
Daughter's
Concern
Over
Her
Dad
Soundarya
wanted
Rajini
to
take
breaks
and
have
his
meals
on
time.
She
said,
"The
daughter
in
me
came
out
at
times
like
that,
the
fan
in
me
came
out
when
I
enjoyed
his
performance
and
the
director
in
me
came
out
when
I
had
to
finish
the
schedule
of
the
day.
I
was
aware
and
conscious
of
his
health."
Soundarya
A
Rajinikanth
Fan
Soundarya,
who
is
marking
her
directorial
venture
with
Kochadaiyaan
said
that
she
is
the
biggest
fan
of
her
dad
and
aware
how
his
fans
wishes
to
see
him.
Soundarya
Soundarya
said,
"I
am
aware
of
the
responsibility
of
directing
him
as
his
fans
want
to
see
him
as
he
is,
I
being
one,
too."
Meaning
Of
Kochadaiyaan
Ko
means
King,
Chadaiyaan means
a
man
with
a
lot
of
hair.
It's
a
fictitious
story
of
a
clan
that
worships
Lord
Shiva.
Difference
Between
Kochadaiyaan
And
Avatar
Soundarya
said,
"Avatar
took
seven
years
and
so
much
budget
and
a
James
Cameron,
but
we
have
completed
the
film
in
just
a
year
and
a
half."
