By Ramchander

Maverick filmmaker KS Ravikumar's next movie is making noise even before the movie hit the floors. The director surprised the entire industry by roping in Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep for his bilingual movie but little less we knew that the actor's name was recommended by one of the biggest name of Kollywood.

Well, it is none other than Rajinikanth. If sources are to be believed, it is Rajinikanth, who suggested Sudeep's name for the forthcoming movie of KS Ravikumar. The buzz says that the director had talked about the upcoming movie with the superstar during the shooting of Kochadaiyaan. After hearing the storyline, the Endhiran actor reportedly felt that Kiccha Sudeep would be suitable for the role.

Reports add that the movie has two main roles - one is of the hero and other is villain. The baddie part reportedly made Rajinikanth to suggest Sudeep's name. It may be recalled that the superstar had earlier praised the Kannada actor's performance in Naan Eee, the Tamil version of Eega.
