Rajinikanth’s Kochadaiyaan not for Diwali

The most disappointing news for the Rajinikanth’s fans is superstar’s next movie Kochadaiyaan, which was thought to be released for Diwali, has been postponed.

Shankar’s Endhiran was Rajinikanth’s last release, which was an amazing robot film released in 2010. Rajini’s next film was expected to be KS Ravikumar’s Rana, but the movie was put to stay back even after Rajini signed for the project, as Rajini fell ill, which made him to be in bed rest for several months.

Though, Soundarya Ashwin, Rajinikanth’s younger daughter gave a relief to his fans by announcing the making of Kochadaiyaan in November 2011. Rajinikanth too had promised his fans about giving them a treat by releasing Kochadaiyaan for this Diwali.

Now, it has been confirmed by the makers that the film has been postponed. Soundarya does not want to compromise on the quality of the multilingual film. The post-production works take a long time to finish which exceeds the scheduled time. So, they have planned to postpone the release.

Reports say the movie was booked by theatres all over Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and other parts of the South. When contacted the Kochadaiyaan producer Dr Murli Manohar, said they are not rushing to release the movie. The movie is surely postponed and not releasing for this Diwali.

Kochadaiyaan starring Rajinikanth and dazzling Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone is directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth. The 3D film has been shot using Motion Capture Technology. Rajini plays an eighth century Pandya king who is known for his legendary valour.

The other cast includes R.Sarathkumar, Aadhi, Shobana, Rukmini Vijayakumar, Jackie Shroff and Nassar. Music has been scored by AR Rahman.

This will be Rajinikanth’s first release in two years, since Robot in 2010 with Aishwarya Rai. His next release will be the epic film Rana which is not due until 2014.
