KATRINA WITH RAJNIKANTH IN A TAMIL MOVIE

If things turn out as planned, cine lovers down South would get to see the unique pairing of South superstar Rajnikanth with Bollywood’s reigning beauty Katrina Kaif in the forthcoming flick ‘Kochadaiyaan’.

The film will be directed by Rajnikanth’s daughter Saundarya and the movie will have Rajni sir play the role of a long-haired king who is a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva. Katrina will play the king’s love interest and the film will also have the two shoot for a romantic number composed by music maestro A.R.Rahman. The film will be made in 3D using the performance capturing technology used by James Cameron in the Hollywood blockbuster Avatar.

South is not a new arena for Kaif who has already worked in two Telugu films (Malliswari and Allari Pidugu) and a Malayalam movie (Balaram Vs Taradas). Kochadaiyaan will be her first Tamil film though, of course, only if she can manage to squeeze out some dates from the diaries of three Khans with whom she is currently busy with!!

SALMAN KHAN - PLAYING RAJNIKANTH CHARACTER

There is no denying the fact that Rajnikanth holds an iconic status in Indian film industry. So, who could be a better star to make a biopic on than Rajni sir himself. Atul Agnihotri is currently working on a biopic Rajinikanth and if sources are to be believes Salmna Khan will be playing the main character. Ad filmmaker Lloyd Ba Pista is all set to write and direct the film.

“There is a huge responsibility involved in making a film on Rajinikanth. We need his approval and contribution. Making a film on him will be an enriching experience for us. Certain commerce is involved in film making; so we are working out the logistics,” Atul Agnihotri said. Talking about Salman playing Rajnikanth character, he elaborated, “We don’t know. We are working out and it would be great if he (Salman) becomes part of it in any which way. Let’s see, Lloyd is still working on the script and going back and forth. He is consulting people. Let him revert back to me; then we will take it forward.”

RANI MUKHERJEE - SOUTH HAS RAJNIKANTH AND WE HAVE SALMAN

Bollywood most wanted, Rani Mukherjee has finally shed her recluse image. Now, post the success of her last film, the actress is more forthcoming to media interactions and also loves to go beyond political correctness at times.

Now, at the crossroads of a new dawn in her career, Rani Mukherjee is kicked about working in films that are bigger in concepts than budgets. Though she might be doing a film opposite Aamir in Reema Kagti's next, but Rani chooses to keep mum on that topic. According to her, "I will only speak about my film with Aamir once it nears the release date. Till then I am not going to utter a word about it."

Talking about her co-actors so far, Rani cannot stop herself from going gaga over Salman Khan. According to Rani, "He is a cult figure. Just as south has Rajnikanth, we have Salman Khan. He is so adorable and good looking; I would say he is the real rockstar."

Rani is lately being credited with bringing the feminist movement back to bollywood. Talking about women-centric films, Rani adds, "The audiences are gradually warming up to women centric films and unless they come out in huge numbers to watch such films, they cannot be made on a large scale. I think with time it will happen."

With Rani getting more media savvy by the day, hope she does not go back being the pretty recluse again.
