Cinemimi[Saturday, January 29, 2011]There are doubts in Kollywood that ‘Rana’, the trilingual announced by Superstar Rajinikanth on Friday, is nothing but the revival of ‘Sultan the Warrior’, the top actor’s first animation film.
“Since the film involves huge budget and requires more live scenes, it has now been given the avatar of a feature film in association with Eros International,” a section of Kollywood pundits felt.
However, those close to Ocher Studios, the production house run by Soundarya Rajinikanth which would produce ‘Rana’ along with Eros International, were quick to deny this claim.
“This is a fresh script to be directed by K S Ravikumar. To be produced on a huge budget, the movie will be simultaneously made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. A popular heroine will be paired opposite the Superstar,” they say.
