Rajnikanth to be directed by daughter Saundarya


South Superstar Rajnikanth is set to star in a live action role in a mega budget animation film- Sultan The Warrior, to be directed by his daughter, Saundarya.

At 2 billion rupees, it is the most expensive animated movie ever to be produced in India and is being produced by Soundarya’s Ocher Studios. Dad Rajnikanth must be doubly proud to star in a movie directed and produced by his daughter.

Telugu actress Ileana has been signed opposite him in the live action sequences. The movie is getting a buzz unusual for animated movies thanks to the Rajnikanth brand name attached to it. Apart from that, Ocher is collaborating with Adlabs for this movie. The music for the film has been scored by AR Rahman and the graphics and visual effects have been done by Soundarya’s team at Ocher.

And now Ocher studios has also tied up with Warner Bros for producing live action films.” They’re a great team; you know there’s nothing more I can say about Warner Bros that people don’t already know. We have tied up an exclusive agreement deal that we’ll produce live action films for them. We’re producing South Indian films to begin with, but soon we’ll move on to the North Indian market as well. It’s an exclusive agreement that we have happening,” says Saundarya.

Saundarya has done a cameo in her father’s bumper movie Kuselan. But she is keener to be behind the camera than in front of it these days.
