We can reveal that Rajnikanth’s much-hyped Kochadaiyyan, to be made in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Japanese, is a replica of director Robert Zemeckis’ 2007 adventure flick Beowulf.
In Beowulf, Ray Winstone played an ancient warrior who travels across the globe to slay a monster. In Kochadaiyyan too, Rajini plays an ancient warrior out for vengeance. Both films use the same performance-capturing technique to amplify and heighten the hero’s shenanigans.
Quizzed about the uncanny similarities between the two films, one of the actors revealed, “I have to admit there are clear similarities between our film and Beowulf. I believe the technique applied is the same in both. Even the action scenes are similar. But it isn’t a straight copy.”
Rajini is leaving no stone unturned to take his film to an altogether different cinematic level. The veteran actor recently shot three songs with Deepika Padukone, who will be accompanying him to Japan in October for the release of the film’s Japanese version.
What’s more, using wigs and other props, Rajini will look at least 30 years younger in the film. And while this isn’t the first time he will portray a character younger than his age, this time around, he promises to look like a 30-year-old epic hero.
Producer Dr Murli Manohar said, “It isn’t as if we’re changing Rajini’s appearance to look younger. The photo-realistic performance-capturing technique is by its very nature designed to make the action and the performer look many times slicker and more agile. I don’t know about any other film. But the technique we’ve used has never been applied in Indian cinema. Rajini’s fans are going to be very happy.”
Deepika, Rajinikanth to visit Japan

While an appropriate date in December for the release of Rajinikanth’s eagerly-awaited post-illness opus Kochadaiyyan is being worked out, what emerges with absolute clarity is that this would be no run-of-the-mill release for a Rajinikanth starrer.
All stops are being pulled out to ensure Kochadaiyyan is a historical event for Rajinikanth’s fans. Even as a date in December for a simultaneous worldwide release is being worked out, we now hear a 4-city ‘world’ wind premiere tour is being planned for Rajinikanth.
While the mega-star would personally be present in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai, it would be his visit to Tokyo that is of optimum interest. Rajinikanth has a huge fan-following in Japan. He has been planning a visit to the country since the Tsunami earthquake earlier this year.
Says a source close to the project, “All the dynamics of a Japanese premiere for Kochadaiyyan are now being worked out. Deepika and Rajini Sir are expected to be in Tokyo in December for the premiere.”
The actor’s health issues are now sorted and he has been declared fit to travel by his doctors.
When contacted, the film’s producer Dr Murli Manohar said, “We’re certainly looking at a gigantic release. The film will be released in separate languages in different parts. We’re planning to give Rajiniji’s fans a treat.”
Apparently, Rajinikanth is brushing up his Japanese for the December visit to the country. “He won’t be able to dub his own lines in the Japanese version of Kochadaiyyan. But he’d be able to converse with his fans,” says our source.

Rajnikant…. with abs?! This film should be charged with 200% entertainment tax! (100% for Rajni and 100% for his abs!)
The guys who do this kind of CGI could well open a side business of making fake matrimonial profiles. A vast majority of males will apply!
