Thanks Nerd!

Yeah, I hate Animation movies too... But this time, cos it's in Tamil, and of course has Rajini, ARR, and some big names, I'm excited! Let's see what happens.... From that Business-Standard article above, I found out the market is more than 65 crores, without any language barrier, etc... So let's see how it goes!

Bollywood toons in, lines up big-ticket animation films

MOINAK MITRA

TNN[ FRIDAY, JULY 06, 2007 03:32:36 AM]

Siddharth Jain, animation head at Adlabs. The company already has two big ticket films lined up for release next year — the Rs 60-crore Sultan and the Rs 20-crore Gini n Jony.

While Sultan, a Rajnikant biopic, is being co-produced by the iconic southern star’s daughter Soundarya from her Chennai-based Ocher Studios, Adlabs brings in the marketing muscle and distribution force. “For Sultan, Adlabs has fixed the same budget as the current rage Sivaji. This shows how animation is imitating and succeeding mainline action films,” claims a trade expert.

yeah... the trailer looks very promising...and the trailer has the shade of "prince of persia" ....hmmm the only thing, that I am worried about is that .... if you take a look at Indian Animation ..well we are not up to standard as some of other counties, we are still in 2D animation, whichis pityful....from Hanuman to the new Ganesha movie .... I just hope that, the new Sultan is up to mark...and change the quality of our animation movies...

60 crores... COOL...

An animated Rajni

Saturday, July 07, 2007 09:06:16 am

Rajni fans are all set for a visual treat as the superstar is all set to make an appearance in an animated version in the movie 'Sultan - The Warrior'

'Sultan- The Warrior' is a mythological movie and is a true Rajni in-house production! The superstar himself has drafted the storyline, while his yongest daughter Soundarya will direct the film and the animation will be done in her own studio - Ocher. And with maestro A R Rahman's music, the movie is bound to be a runaway success! Animated or real, Rajni fans can't wait for the stunts and his famous dialogues once again!

‘I am a Rajnikanth Fanatic' - Soundarya Rajnikanth!

Friday, August 03, 2007 4:44:59 PM (IST)

Aug 3: Millions across the globe might swear by Rajnikanth’s larger than life stunt sequences, but here’s a girl who is smitten by them the most. She is amongst the few who know the real Rajni from Rajnikanth—the superstar and is now all set to take his idiosyncratic style a step further. Graphic designer and younger daughter of the superstar, Soundarya Rajnikanth, is making India’s biggest animation flick with ‘Sultan—The Warrior’ starring an animated Rajnikanth.’

“When I was a kid I never read any novel, it always had to be a book or a story with an illustration. My mother has a collection of all the scribbles and drawings I’ve done,” chuckles Soundarya who is currently shooting for the film in London with her dad.

Soundarya explains, “Animation is not considered as a mainstream medium here. That’s why I decided to break the barrier.” Interestingly, for Soundarya acting has never been a prerogative. “I am a director and a businessperson by nature. I’ve been offered films, but I choose to be behind the camera,” she smiles.

Soundarya cannot stop raving about her father. “I am a Rajinikanth fanatic-’Badshah’, ‘Annamallai’, ‘Sivaji’. Soundarya shares, “We are very, very close! He means the world to me. As children we never got to spend much time with dad, but when we did, it was quality time. My mother never let us feel dad’s absence. She filled it.” She adds, “He interacts with me and participates in every move I make. I have never and will never do anything without his guidance and approval.”

Lastly, ask her which is the one actor she loves apart from her father and her response isn’t surprising, “Amitabh Uncle!” she says.

Bollywood biggies get animated about toons

2 Sep 2007, 0036 hrs IST,Anubha Sawhney,TNN

While you're busy reading this, somewhere in a movie studio, scores of talented people are working on creating an animated likeness of the Boss. From the way he looks, walks, his gestures, the tilt of his head, the frown on his brow... superstar Rajnikanth is being transferred into an animated avatar that will hit the screens as Sultan The Warrior. The movie is presented by Adlabs and Ocher Studios.

With Sivaji STILL running to packed houses, it isn't surprising to see why they picked Sultan as their maiden venture. "This is the first time in India that a superstar is being animated. Sultan will feature Rajnikanth as a mythological hero and promises to be replete with stylised Rajnikanth mannerisms and punch lines,'' says Sidhartha M Jain, head of animation, Adlabs Films Ltd.

Thrilled Rahman

A R Rahman is thrilled to score music for the animated movie Sultan The Warrior that would feature Rajnikanth.

Says Rahman, ' composing music for an animated movie is no easy joke. It is very demanding. Everything is artificial in an animated film, but the music plays a prominent film.Music is no doubt a character in such movies. I am excited to work in the project that features Rajnikanth'.

Rahman has been assigned to work for Golden Age, an English film, to be directed by Sheker Kapur. 'I know Shekher for over 10 years. We had worked for a advertisement commercial before. To be part of his movie is a great joy,' says Rahman. Grammy award- winner Craig Armstrong is also working with Rahman for the movie.

After Rajnikant’s ‘Sultan — The Warrior’, Mohanlal has signed up for his likeness to be used in an animation film made by Animation Dimensions. The actor has also agreed to dub for his character in the movie.

We hear that another Bollywood actor has been roped in for a part in the same animation film, but no one’s confirming anything on that front.

Talking about "exshpress" is a digressions - ya, still u can do that. But sadly no new information can be provided as everyone knows it was a huge flop.

But my one-liner says one thing - be it Rajini, Kamal or any other star - no once can "guarantee" a hit movie.
"namma thalivar vanthu ninthale pothum... padam nooru nal..." kind of dialogs (be it Rajini or any other star) always sounded stupid to me

whatever days Baba ran its because of rajni only.
Baba with some other stars including your favourite star would not have run more than 4 shows.

to put my words differently, if rajni had acted in alavandan, it would have done better business.

Don't compare other stars with BO king especially in terms of BO collection.

if Ramadasar had kept his mouth shut, BABA would have done even better.

Perarasu too attended the 50th day celebrations and was given *respect he deserved*

But varalaaru collected more than tpt and it was a rocker inspite of releasing after 50 days from the date of release

and it was a bigger hit (collection wise). That is why I said, # of days and actual run varies[dig]

I disagree to many of yuor points.

1. whatever days Baba ran its because of rajni only.
No.

2. Baba with some other stars including your favourite star would not have run more than 4 shows.
There is no Kamal movie which ran only 4 shows or less.
So does you statement mean Baba was worse than Magarasan or Kalaignan which did better business (more than 4 days)

3. to put my words differently, if rajni had acted in alavandan, it would have done better business.
Hypothetical statement. You cannot prove that.
I can say if Kamal acted in baba it would have done better business. And I cannot prove that.

4. Don't compare other stars with BO king especially in terms of BO collection.
I did not compare in my posts about the BO collection.
But I can compare. Though Rajini is at present more powerful in the BO, there were times when Kamal was above. Even now Kamal's BO pwer is comparable to Rajini.

5. if Ramadasar had kept his mouth shut, BABA would have done even better.
Does this hold good for Virumandi also?

Kollywood goes the corporate way

Move over independent producers. The big boys of the corporate world are here to play, says Sreedhar Pillai .

‘Corporatisation’ is the new buzzword in Kollywood as traditional one-man producers are being replaced by corporates. This has helped the industry become more systematic and accountable.

Like the Hollywood studio system, Tamil cinema is slowly but surely going the corporate way with companies such as Pyramid Saimira, GV Films, Adlabs, UTV, Moser Baer, Ayngaran International and Ashtavinayak getting into production, distribution and exhibition.

Now Adlabs and Soundarya Rajnikanth’s Ocher Studio are jointly producing Sultan - The Warrior, featuring superstar Rajnikanth in an animated version, to which he lends his voice.

The Tamil film world is blazing a new trail of sorts. With big corporates taking into production, distribution and exhibition, Kollywood can be said to have entered the era of corporatisation.

The trendsetters in this connection are such companies as Pyramid Saimira, GV Films, Adlabs, UTV, Moser Baer, Ayngaran International and Ashtavinayak.

Chennai: The Tamil film industry, the second largest in the South, is now moving away from the trend of private production houses funding films for corporate houses like Adlabs and UTV are now moving down South to produce films.

Also Adlabs and Soundarya, Rajnikanth's Ocher Studio, are said to be jointly producing Sultan - The Warrior. The film will feature Rajnikanth in an animated version.

FIR on 'Sultan, the Warrior'!
" 'Sultan, The Warrior would be hundred times bigger than 'Sivaji: The Boss' ", says Soundarya Rajnikanth, daughter of super star Rajinikanth.

Soundarya, who is wielding the megaphone for the animation film ‘Sultan, The Warrior’ is quite confident about her venture. “Being a great fan of my father, I am shaping up his character in such a way to satisfy the fan inside me. The film will surely lure the masses”.

Sources say the film is shaping up fast and it would be ready for 2008 release. The highlight of the movie is that it is none other than Rajinikanth, who has lent his voice to narrate the story.

The fact that the musical wizard A.R. Rahman has scored music for the animation movie has just triggered the expectations. The movie is produced by Reliance Adlabs.

1,200 திரையரங்குகளில் ரஜினியின் சுல்தான்!

'சிவாஜி' படத்தின் சாதனையை முறியடிக்கும் வகையில், ரஜினியின் 'சுல்தான்' படத்தை 1,200க்கும் மேற்பட்ட திரையரங்குகளில் வெளியிடுகிறார்கள்.

உலக அளவில் வசூலில் பல சாதனைகள் படைத்த சிவாஜிக்குப் பிறகு சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினி நடிக்கும் படம் 'சுல்தான்–தி வாரியர்'. இந்தியாவை ஆட்சி செய்த சுல்தானாக இதில் நடிக்கிறார் ரஜினி. வரலாற்றுப் படம் என்பதால் சுல்தானை மிகுந்த சிரத்தையுடன் உருவாக்கி வருகிறார் ரஜினியின் இளைய மகள் செளந்தர்யா.

ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் இசையமைக்கும் இந்தப் படத்தின் முதல் கட்டப் படப்பிடிப்பு பெல்ஜியம், பிரேஸில், ஜெர்மனி, அமெரிக்கா உள்ளிட்ட நாடுகளில் ஆறு வாரங்கள் நடந்தது. முதலில் ரஜினியை நடிக்க வைத்து பின்னர், அந்தக் காட்சிகளை அனிமேஷனுக்கு மாற்றும் வேலைகள் இதுவரை செளந்தர்யாவின் ஆக்கர் ஸ்டுடியோவில் நடந்தன.

இப்போது, படத்தின் இறுதிக் கட்டப் படப்பிடிப்புக்கு தயாராகி வருகிறார் செளந்தர்யா. இதுவரை படமாக்கப்பட்ட காட்சிகளைப் பார்த்த ரஜினி, மிகுந்த உற்சாகத்துடன் அடுத்த கட்டப் படப்பிடிப்புக்கு 20 நாட்கள் கால்ஷீட் கொடுத்துள்ளாராம்.

இதுகுறித்து செளந்தர்யா கூறுகையில், இதுவரை எடுத்துள்ள பகுதிகளைப் பார்த்து அப்பா மிகவும் சந்தோஷப்பட்டார். இந்தப் படத்தைப் பொறுத்தவரை ஆரம்பத்திலிருந்தே என்னை மிகவும் உற்சாகப்படுத்தி வருபவர் அப்பாதான். அப்பாவை இன்னும் இளமையாக, புதிய ஸ்டைலில் இந்தப் படத்தில் பார்க்கலாம்.

ஏற்கெனவே வெளியிடப்பட்ட சுல்தான் ட்ரெய்லருக்கு நல்ல வரவேற்பு கிடைத்துள்ளது. இதே வரவேற்பு படத்துக்கும் கிடைக்கும். இந்தியாவைப் பொறுத்தவரை, சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ஒருவரை வைத்து எடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் முதல் முழு நீள அனிமேஷன் படம் சுல்தான்தான்.

இப்போது இறுதிக்கட்டப் படப்பிடிப்பில் இருக்கிறோம். அப்பா இதற்காக 20 நாட்கள் ஒதுக்கிக் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார். இந்த முறை படப்பிடிப்பு முழுக்க முழுக்க சென்னையில்தான் என்றார்.

ஏவி.எம் மற்றும் பிரசாத் ஸ்டுடியோக்களில் இந்தப் படத்துக்காக பிரமாண்ட செட்கள் போடப்பட்டுள்ளன. க்ளைமாக்ஸில் ரஜினி பங்கேற்கும் போர்க்களக் காட்சிகளை லார்டு ஆஃப் த ரிங்ஸ்க்கு இணையாக அனிமேஷன் செய்யப் போகிறாராம் செளந்தர்யா.

ஏற்கெனவே இந்தப் படத்துக்காக ஆறு பாடல்கள் போட்டுக் கொடுத்துவிட்டார் ரஹ்மான். ரஜினிக்கென்று ஸ்பெஷல் அறிமுகப் பாடலும் இதில் உண்டு.

தமிழ்ப் புத்தாண்டுக்கு படத்தை வெளியிடத் திட்டமிட்டுள்ளார் செளந்தர்யா. சிவாஜியை மிஞ்சும் வகையில் உலகமெங்கும் ஆயிரத்து இருநூறு திரையரங்குகளில் இப்போதே சுல்தான் டிரெய்லர் காட்டப்படுகிறது. இதைவிட அதிக எண்ணிக்கையிலான திரையரங்குகளில் படத்தை வெளியிட திட்டமிட்டு வருகிறார்கள்.

Will Rajini & Shah Rukh come together?

The latest news down south is that Rajinikanth is all set to rule the world of animation as well. With â€œSultan the warriorâ€ under production, the actorâ€™s daughter who also happens to be the director of this 3D film, has future plans as well. With sky being the only limit, Soundarya Rajinikanth plans to do a couple of 3D animated films. One of the sequels is planned to be for the numero uno Kamal Haasan himself.

She seems to have a one line idea, but wants to develop into a full fledged script before approaching the legend. Talking to reporters she said, â€œAfter animating my dad, it would be really interesting to animate Kamal uncle too. Hope I can develop a concrete script before approaching him"

Discussing her ongoing project â€˜Sultan the warriorâ€™ this talented youngster said that the movie will have all gimmicks, style and mannerisms very typical of a Rajinikanth film. This would feature the superstar in an all-different image but with his usual lingos and mannerisms.

Asked about her other projects, she further added, â€œWe had recently seen Chak De India and Appa liked the movie a lot. Shah Rukh Khan was wonderful. After Sultan may be I'll try to do an animation involving Shah Rukh and my father together. It will be a bonanza for both their fans if something like that happens. Letâ€™s hope both the Dons have a feast waiting for their fans.
And to sign off, do you know what the significance of the rudrakshamala around her neck is? It was gifted by her dad Rajinikanth himself. Hmm. Quite special.

Soundarya to do TV programme

IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, January 30, 2008]

Like father like daughter. Soundarya starts her day by reading a few pages from a spiritual book. The title of the book is ‘Golden Present’ written by Sachidananda. The book is presented by her beloved father. She also wears in her neck a Rudraksh bead, which is again presented by her father.

On career front, everyone knows that she is the MD of a company named Ocher Studios and making 3D animation film, ‘Sultan the Warrior’, featuring superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. Before this project, she had the experience of working in Computer Graphics work for films like ‘Anbe aruyire’, ‘Sivakasi’, ‘Sivaji’, ‘Baba’, and ‘Chandramukhi’.

Apart from Computer Graphics and animation, she is quite interested in presenting an entertainment programme in television. She wants it to be on par with international standards. She has done the ground work for the programme. She is believed to have approached a leading firm to produce the programme.

Versatility, thy name is Soundarya?

I'm more director than actor: Rajini's daughter Soundarya

Mumbai: There would have been no dearth of roles for Tamil actor Rajinikant's daughter had she chosen to follow in his footsteps.

Instead Soundarya Rajinikant became a filmmaker and is now making Sultan - The Warrior, a 3-D animation project that features her superstar father in the role of an armour-clad warrior.

"I have always been (a) behind-the-camera person. I'm more the director than an actor," said the 23-year-old.

"So, do I see myself in front of the camera? No. But never say never, let's see what happens later,” she added.

Directing a full-fledged Bollywood film remains one of her dreams and Soundarya said her favourite genre is fantasy – with supernatural settings, exotic lands and make-believe creatures.

"I really, really want to direct a film on fantasy. It fascinates me,” she said.

I know why few of you felt like it was video game tralier.. watch it carefully. The Whole tralier was shown in Slow motion. Not in Real time speed. I am confident it will be at par with International Studios. Last few sec of Tralier when thalivar walks towards screen.. it was picture perfect.

Nammaba Raghu sir.. sollara madree.. Movie patha.. chumma aadurum ellaa..

By : Settu Shankar

Thursday, March 13 2008

The Rs 40 crore budgeted Rajinikanth's animation film 'Sultan the Warrior' is expected to do the business worth Rs.100 crore, as informed by Soundarya Rajinikanth, the director of the film. According to Soundarya, the film is progressing at a brisk pace and more than 100 technicians are working round the clock on the film at Soundarya's Ocher Studios.

Soundarya said, "Though the film is an animated version, it will be like a full-fledged Rajini film with as usual entertainment aspects. Our Superstar is going to sing and fight in this film. It is two and half entertainment extravaganza with all trade mark styles of Appa."

Rahman is looking forward to his next venture with Rajinikanth Robot and is currently working on the superstar's animation film Sultan. Besides this he's also scoring music for the Hindi version of Ghajini and Dilli 6. But he's most excited about working with Rajinikanth again.

"He is an icon, and he's got his own zing and so it's real fun to be working with him,” he says.

SRK, Yash Raj films & Rajinikanth clash!

IndiaGlitz [Thursday, March 27, 2008]

As interesting as the headline is the story itself. If reports smoking out of Bollywood are to be believed then we can witness the clash of Titans, we mean with regards to the film industry.

Red Chillies VFX, Yash Raj FIlms and Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya's Ocher Studios will be vying with each other in the National Association of Broadcasters show to be held in Las Vegas on April 15.

The three production houses will also be making their presentations. Reports suggest that the production houses will also extend their service to not just desi but foreign films as well. The highest billing among these three production houses has been given to given to SRK's Red Chillies VFX. Not to mention that SRK's production has ventured into making animation films as well.

Rajinikanth's Ocher Studios has ventured in to the production and making of the animated film 'Sultan - The warrior', with a whooping budget of 70 crore rupees. Reports indicate that there is tough competition existing between Red Chillies VFX and Ocher Studios. And with Yash Raj films too coming out with an animation film titled 'Roadside Romeo' the competition is getting stiffer.

Now the best we can do is just wait till the calender turns April 15th and watch who gets picked as the best!

Big banner animation films will change Indian scenario

March 28th, 2008 - 11:21 am ICT
By Nikhil Agarwal
Kolkata, March 28 (IANS)

Yashraj Films is making “Roadside Romeo” as part of a three-film tie up with The Walt Disney Studios. South Indian actor Rajnikant will be seen in a 3D animation film “Sultan-The Warrior”, being made by his daughter. Ace director Karan Johar is making “Coochie Coochie Hota Hai”, an animated remake of his debut hit “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”.

He called the making of the Rajinikat-starrer “Sultan - The Warrior”, a “clever move”.

“The southern superstar is no more young and cannot do action films like he used to earlier. An animation film is the perfect answer to his old age, as it can retain his action movements.”

The music of Sultan The Warrior

`Sultan The Warrior', the hi-tech and novel attempt on celluloid by
Superstar Rajinikanth's daughter, is growing in a fast pace with 20
per cent of the movie is completed.

More exciting news about the first ever 3D animation feature film in
India is that the music wizard A.R. Rahman has so far composed two
songs for the movie.

As director Soundarya informed earlier, the film has all the
ingredients of a Superstar flick, including the intro song for the
Superstar. The song, penned by veteran lyricist Vairamuthu and sung by
S.P. Balasubramaniam, is all set to enthrall the Rajini fans.

The other song is a duet song, which is again penned and sung by
Vairamuthu and SPB respectively.

It is worth recalling that most of the intro songs in Rajini films,
sung by SPB have become huge hits. The combination of ARR, SPB,
Vairamuthu, and Rajini has rocked in films like `Muthu' and
`Padayappa'. We hope that the combination would recreate the magic in
the animation film as well.

Orcher Studios collaborate with Warner Bros
April 23rd, 2008

It’s not just happy news for Soundarya Rajnikanth, but for the entire Kodambakkam that one of the finest animation companies Orcher Studios has taken a step ahead in its action. Orcher Studios headed by Soundarya Rajnikanth has now collaborated with Warner Bros. India, one of the greatest masters at the international level of producing films.

The scenario has been planned in such a way that they would be together taking up the task of producing and distributing Live-Action South Indian Films. Blaise Fernandes, Head of Warner Bros. in India has stated that it’s great working with one of the finest institutions of carrying out business with an unique stand.

We wish Orcher Studios and Warner Bros. a happy and successful venture that they will kick-start soon.

Rajinikanth met Sultan
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, May 21, 2008]

Superstar Rajinikanth saw two things when he watched the trailer of the animated movie 'Sultan The Warrior'.

For the first time he saw himself in a movie in which he did not act but still was able to enjoy Sultan as he is called in the film.

He also saw the talent and potential of his own blood in its full glory and splendor revealing in front of his eyes.

The actor after watching the trailer was moved and appreciated his daughter Soundarya who is the creative force and director behind the first of its kind animation project in India where a film star is being featured in a full length animated movie as an 3D animated character.

Ocher movies, Soundarya Rajinikanth's company is producing 'Sultan The Warrior'.

As usual in Rajinikanth movies, S.P.Balasubramanium has given the voice for the intro song in this film composed by the music wizard A.R.Rahman.

Three other songs composed by A.R.R. also add elegance to the film which has the duration of one hour and fifty minutes.

For Thotta Dharani, the acclaimed Art director, the experience in working in this movie turned out to be entirely different as he did not have to work with physical resources which are used to construct a set but just had to come out with designs which got the material and texture in the hands of 3D animation artists working under his guidance.

This attempt is sure to find followers once it gets released and Kollywood can be proud that the idea of 'Sultan The Warrior' was conceived and the effort to make it true was dared in Chennai.

Even if the film shows a Rajinikanth made up by animators, the opening and the hype to this movie is going to be the same as like any other film of the superstar.

That also is an honour that is meant exclusively for Rajini.

Who can argue on that?

சுல்தான் வெற்றி நிச்சயம் சௌந்தர்யா

இந்தியத் திரையுலகில் சுல்தான் நிச்சயம் ஒரு வித்தியாசமான முயற்சி. இந்தப் படம் நிச்சயம் அப்பாவின் ரசிகர்களைத் திருப்திப்படுத்தும். இன்னொன்று இது என் கனவுப் படமும் கூட. தரத்திலும் வசூலிலும் உலக அளவில் பேசப்படும், என்கிறார் சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினிகாந்த்.

சுல்தான் படம் மற்றும் அதன் இப்போதைய நிலை குறித்து படத்தின் இயக்குநர் சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினிகாந்த் ஒரு பேட்டியில் கூறியிருப்பதாவது:

சுல்தான் படம் என்னுடைய பல வருட கனவு, உழைப்பின் விளைவு என்றுகூடச் சொல்லலாம். இந்தப் படத்தை இப்படித்தான் எடுக்க வேண்டும் என கிட்டத்தட்ட 6 ஆண்டுகளுக்கும் மேல் நான் திட்டமிட்டேன்.

இல்லாவிட்டால் அப்பாவை அத்தனை சீக்கிரம் யாராலும் கன்வின்ஸ் பண்ணவே முடியாது. தன் மகள் என்பதற்காகவெல்லாம் எந்த வாய்ப்பையும் தந்துவிட மாட்டார் அவர்.

ஆனால் அப்பா ஒரு முறை முடிவு செயதுவிட்டால், கடவுளே நினைத்தாலும் அதை மாற்றமுடியாது. அதுதான் அவரது இயல்பு. ஆரம்பத்திலேயே இந்தப் படம் குறித்த ஒவ்வொரு காட்சிக்கும் அவருக்கு போதிய விளக்கம் கூறி அவருக்கு திருப்தி வரும் வகையில் கதையை அமைத்தேன்.

மற்றபடி எந்தக் காட்சியிலும் அப்பா ஒரு திருத்தம்கூடச் சொன்னதில்லை.

இந்தப் படத்தில் நாயகி விஜயலட்சுமி என்றபோது அப்பா ஒரு நிமிடம் சங்கடப்பட்டார். பின்னர் அதற்கான காட்சி அமைப்புகளைச் சொன்னேன். மக்கள் என்ன பேசுவார்கள் என்பதை அவர்களுக்கு முன்னதாகவே கணித்துச் சொல்லிவிடுவார் அப்பா. எத்தனையோ படங்களுக்கு அப்படித்தான் நடந்திருக்கிறது.

எந்த மகளுக்கும் கிடைக்காத பெருமையை ஒரு அப்பாவாக எனக்குத் தந்திருக்கிறார். அந்தப் பெருமையைக் காப்பாற்றும் விதத்தில் இந்தப் படத்தை எடுத்திருப்பதாகவே நம்புகிறேன்.

இந்தப் படம் அப்பாவின் அனைத்து தரப்பு ரசிகர்களுக்கும் ஒரு இனிய அதிர்ச்சியாக இருக்கும். இதன் மூன்றாவது டிரெயிலர் மற்றும் பாடல்கள் விரைவில் வெளியாகவிருக்கின்றன.

குழந்தைகள் மற்றும் மாணவர்களின் குதூகல மாதமான ஏப்ரலில் படத்தை வெளியிட முடிவு செய்துள்ளோம்.
எந்திரனுக்கு முன், உலகம் முழுக்க வெளியாகப்போகும் படம் சுல்தான்தான். 2000க்கும் கூடுதலான பிரிண்டுகள். அனிமேஷன் தவிர்த்து அப்பா ரியலாக வரும் சில காட்சிகளையும் ஸ்பெஷலாக வைக்கும் உத்தேசமுள்ளது, என்றார்.

Do u think that it will make a difference in the minds of ppl and increase their "Bakthi" towards the lord. Then i dont think we need temples.

I just meant rajasaranam's "Aappu" comment on Sultan and nothing more than that. So kindly dont bring in religion into a public forum like hub. Grow up,baby...

இந்தியத் திரையுலகில் சுல்தான் நிச்சயம் ஒரு வித்தியாசமான முயற்சி. இந்தப் படம் நிச்சயம் அப்பாவின் ரசிகர்களைத் திருப்திப்படுத்தும். இன்னொன்று இது என் கனவுப் படமும் கூட. தரத்திலும் வசூலிலும் உலக அளவில் பேசப்படும், என்கிறார் சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினிகாந்த்.

சுல்தான் படம் மற்றும் அதன் இப்போதைய நிலை குறித்து படத்தின் இயக்குநர் சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினிகாந்த் ஒரு பேட்டியில் கூறியிருப்பதாவது:

சுல்தான் படம் என்னுடைய பல வருட கனவு, உழைப்பின் விளைவு என்றுகூடச் சொல்லலாம். இந்தப் படத்தை இப்படித்தான் எடுக்க வேண்டும் என கிட்டத்தட்ட 6 ஆண்டுகளுக்கும் மேல் நான் திட்டமிட்டேன்.

இல்லாவிட்டால் அப்பாவை அத்தனை சீக்கிரம் யாராலும் கன்வின்ஸ் பண்ணவே முடியாது. தன் மகள் என்பதற்காகவெல்லாம் எந்த வாய்ப்பையும் தந்துவிட மாட்டார் அவர்.

ஆனால் அப்பா ஒரு முறை முடிவு செயதுவிட்டால், கடவுளே நினைத்தாலும் அதை மாற்றமுடியாது. அதுதான் அவரது இயல்பு. ஆரம்பத்திலேயே இந்தப் படம் குறித்த ஒவ்வொரு காட்சிக்கும் அவருக்கு போதிய விளக்கம் கூறி அவருக்கு திருப்தி வரும் வகையில் கதையை அமைத்தேன்.

மற்றபடி எந்தக் காட்சியிலும் அப்பா ஒரு திருத்தம்கூடச் சொன்னதில்லை.

இந்தப் படத்தில் நாயகி விஜயலட்சுமி என்றபோது அப்பா ஒரு நிமிடம் சங்கடப்பட்டார். பின்னர் அதற்கான காட்சி அமைப்புகளைச் சொன்னேன். மக்கள் என்ன பேசுவார்கள் என்பதை அவர்களுக்கு முன்னதாகவே கணித்துச் சொல்லிவிடுவார் அப்பா. எத்தனையோ படங்களுக்கு அப்படித்தான் நடந்திருக்கிறது.

எந்த மகளுக்கும் கிடைக்காத பெருமையை ஒரு அப்பாவாக எனக்குத் தந்திருக்கிறார். அந்தப் பெருமையைக் காப்பாற்றும் விதத்தில் இந்தப் படத்தை எடுத்திருப்பதாகவே நம்புகிறேன்.

இந்தப் படம் அப்பாவின் அனைத்து தரப்பு ரசிகர்களுக்கும் ஒரு இனிய அதிர்ச்சியாக இருக்கும். இதன் மூன்றாவது டிரெயிலர் மற்றும் பாடல்கள் விரைவில் வெளியாகவிருக்கின்றன.

குழந்தைகள் மற்றும் மாணவர்களின் குதூகல மாதமான ஏப்ரலில் படத்தை வெளியிட முடிவு செய்துள்ளோம்.
எந்திரனுக்கு முன், உலகம் முழுக்க வெளியாகப்போகும் படம் சுல்தான்தான். 2000க்கும் கூடுதலான பிரிண்டுகள். அனிமேஷன் தவிர்த்து அப்பா ரியலாக வரும் சில காட்சிகளையும் ஸ்பெஷலாக வைக்கும் உத்தேசமுள்ளது, என்றார்.

சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் மகள்னா சும்மாவா... 32 அடி பாயும் புலிக்குட்டியல்லவா!

Warner bothers dumps Ocher Studios & Eros dumps Ayangran.
Kollywood : Back to basics
Rama Narayanan, president of the Producers' Council, has announced that following the economic recession, the fee of 'leading' actors in Kollywood is likely to come down. His announcement, no doubt, has sent shock waves among leading heroes.
Added to this new development, many corporate firms have decided to reduce their production cost of many films under production. Eros, financial backers of Aingaran Films, and Warner Brothers, which was behind Soundarya Rajinikath's Ocher Studios, have reportedly backed out of these associations.
This has gladdened the hearts of a few who believe that this would mean that Tamil films would once again be dominated by small film producers and directors. The popular television channels like Raj TV, Zee TV and Sun TV might decide to go full steam with producing films. Many heroes are said to be trying their best to get into the good books of the administrators of these channels.

Nerd yes it true. They backed out of 2 things. One is STW and other one Ravan(Manirathnam film). They were saying mani to cut down the budge to 60c and other, when the original version was about 120c.

Is it only happening to Indian Movies...especially TFM.. earlier MY,now Ravan and could this affect "Endiran"

Thamiz: 'n' number of clauses will be attached with any such contract. CGI costs/budget are the reasons I gather. But remember reliance was supposed to buy the movie only for distribution. Shoot is already over and they have enough funds to finish CGI etc.

தன்னை தனிக்காட்டு ராணி என்று நினைத்துக் கொண்டிருந்த விஜயலட்சுமிக்கு, தண்ணி காட்டும் ராணியாகிவிட்டார் சௌந்தர்யா. இவர் இயக்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் சுல்தான் தி வாரியர் படத்தில் முதலில் இலியானா, ஸ்ரேயா, த்ரிஷா என்று யார் யாரையோ கேட்டு சம்பளம் கட்டுப்படியாகாத காரணத்தால் விஜயலட்சுமியை நடிக்க வைத்தார்.

ரஜினியோடு ஜோடியாக நடிக்கப் போகிறோம். அதிலும் தனி ஹீரோயின் என்று சந்தோஷத்திலிருந்த விஜயலட்சுமிக்கு இந்த செய்தி பெரிய இடியாக இருக்கலாம். படத்தில் இன்னொரு நாயகியும் இருக்கிறார். இந்த கேரக்டரில் நடிக்க ஹாலிவுட் நடிகை ஜெசிகாவை அழைத்து வரப்போகிறார் சௌந்தர்யா. நேரடியாக ஹாலிவுட்டுக்கே போய் வந்திருக்கும் சௌந்தர்யா, சம்பள பேச்சுவார்தைகளை முடித்து அட்வான்சும் கொடுத்துவிட்டு வந்திருக்கிறாராம் ஜெசிகாவுக்கு.

ஹாலிவுட் ஹீரோயினை ஒப்பந்தம் செய்ததற்கு காரணம், அனிமேஷன் படங்களுக்கு தமிழகத்திலும், பிற மொழிகளிலும் இருக்கும் மரியாதையை இதற்கு முன்பு வெளிவந்த படங்களில் பார்த்து அதிர்ந்து போனதால்தானாம். ஜெசிகாவை நடிக்க வைத்தால் படத்தை ஹாலிவுட்டிலும் ரிலீஸ் செய்ய முடியுமல்லவா?

Sultan all set to hit the screens on April 14
Wednesday, January 21, 2009, 10:57 Endhiran/Sultan Special 623 views 21 comments This year’s most expected Superstar’s animated film - Sultan, the Warrior is all set to hit the screens on April 14. The movie is jointly produced by Soundharya Rajini’s Ocher Studios and Reliance Adlabs.

Ready to hit the screens

The movie was in the production for more than 24 months. The proposed budget shot up in due course because of the delay in CG. Hundreds of animation artists have been indulged for the CG and the work was carried on day-and-night targetting the summer release. Now the director of the movie, Soundharya Rajini can breath a sigh of relief as the movie is almost complete.

Vijayalakshmi, the baddie?

Superstar plays as a King and his consort Vijayalakshmi plays as a princess of a neighbouring country. Insiders say that there’s no villain in the film but the character of Vijayalakshmi itself would serve the purpose as she would appear as the baddie in a few reels of the film.

5 songs + a thunderous intro song

Meastro AR Rahman has scored 6 thunderous songs and a delightful news is that there would be a typical Rajini type introductory song in Sultan too.

Mayilsami, the comedian

And guess what, there’s also a comedian to entertain us with wits and humor throughout the film and it is none other than Mayilsami, who has already acted in a few films with Superstar. But this time he would appear in animated format.

Initially the movie was named Hara. But Superstar suggested the director that the name Sultan which has universal appeal would suit more that Hara and thus we got the name Sultan.

Though the release strategy is yet to be disclosed it is expected that the film would have a worldwide release in more than 3000 screens in multiple languages including English, Tamil, Hindi & Telugu.

Let’s all wish a roaring success for Sultan.

ஒண்ணா வந்த மெகா 'மிஸ்'கள்!
- கி.கார்த்திகேயன், படங்கள்: பொன்.காசிராஜன்

அப்பாக்கள் இருவரும் தமிழ் சினிமாவின் இரு துருவங்கள். ஆனாலும், சந்தர்ப்பம் அமையும்போதெல்லாம் தோள் இறுக்கி, தூள் கிளப்பும் பரபரப்பு நண்பர்கள். அவர்கள் வீட்டு வாரிசுகள்..?

சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினியும் ஸ்ருதி கமலும் சந்தித்ததே இல்லையாம் இதுவரை. இதோ... இது முதல் முறை. சென்ற வாரம் சென்னை தாஜ் ஹோட்டலில், குளிர் 'கூல்' முத்தமிடும் பால் ரூம். 'ஹாய்... ஹவ் ஆர் யூ?' என விழிகளில் ஆச்சர்யம் காட்டினார் சௌந்தர்யா. 'ஹாய்! ஃபைன்' என புன்னகையில் கிடார் மீட்டினார் ஸ்ருதி. சென்னையில் பிரபலமான 'ரிட்ஸ்' ஆங்கில மாத இதழ் நடத்திய சாதனைப் பெண்களுக்கு விருது வழங்கும் விழாவில்தான் இந்த சர்ப்ரைஸ் சந்திப்பு. சிறந்த இளம் தொழிலதிபராக சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினிகாந்த்துக்கும், இசைத் துறை சாதனைகளுக்காக ஸ்ருதி கமலுக்கும் விருதுகள். வாழ்த்துக்களுக்கு நடுவே கல்லூரித் தோழிகள் மாதிரி கலகலப்பானவர்களை அப்படியே மடக்கி, 'சரித்திரச் சந்திப்பை' பேட்டியாக்கினேன்.

சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினியிடம்...

''ஸ்ருதி..?''

''நம்ப மாட்டீங்க. இத்தனை வருஷத்துல இதுதான் எங்க முதல் மீட்டிங். ரெண்டு பேர் குடும்பமும் ஃபங்ஷன்ஸ்ல சந்திச்சப்போகூட, நாங்க பேசிக்கிட்டதா நினைவில்லை. ஸ்ருதியைப் பார்த்ததும் ஃபார்மலா சில விஷயங்கள் பேசலாம்னு நினைச்சேன். ஆனா, அதுக்கெல்லாம் தேவையே இல்லாம, முதல் பார்வையிலேயே எங்களுக்குள் நல்ல வேவ்லெங்த் இருந்தது. ரொம்ப நாள் கழிச்சுப் பார்க்கிற ஃப்ரெண்ட் போல இருந்தாங்க. என் ஃப்ரெண்ட்ஸ் லிஸ்ட்ல இனி ஸ்ருதியும் இருப்பாங்க!''

''ரஜினி மகளாக இருப்பதில் என்ன ப்ளஸ், மைனஸ்?''

''இதுக்கான பதிலை அப்பாவே என்கிட்ட சொல்லியிருக்கார்... 'ரஜினி பொண்ணு சினிமா புரொடக்ஷன் கம்பெனி ஆரம்பிச்சுட்டாங்கன்னு நியூஸ் பளிச்னு எல்லோருக்கும் ரீச் ஆகிடும். உனக்கே தெரியாம விளம்பரம் ஆகும். அது உன் கம்பெனிக்கு ஓப்பனிங் ப்ளஸ். ஆனா, அதுக்குப் பிறகு உனக்கு புராஜெக்ட்ஸ் கொடுக்க நிறைய யோசிப்பாங்க. ரஜினி பொண்ணுகிட்ட வேலை வாங்க முடியுமான்னு தயங்குவாங்க. அது உனக்கு மைனஸா இருக்கும். அதை உன் ஹார்டு வொர்க்தான் உடைக்கும்'னு சொன்னார். அது உண்மைன்னு உணர்ந்தேன். இப்போ அந்தச் சிக்கல்களை எல்லாம் தாண்டி, வார்னர் பிரதர்ஸோட இணைந்து செயல்படுற அளவுக்கு என் 'ஆக்கர் ஸ்டுடியோஸ்' வளர்ச்சி அடைஞ்சிருக்கு. நாலு வருடத்தில் இந்த அபார வளர்ச்சியைச் சாத்தியப்படுத்திய என் கம்பெனி ஊழியர்களின் உழைப்புதான் என் சொத்து!''

''அடுத்து என்ன?''

''மே மாசத்துக்குள் 'சுல்தான்' ரிலீஸ் பண்ணணும். வெங்கட் பிரபுவோட 'கோவா' பட வேலைகளை ஆரம்பிக்கணும். அதுக்கு ஹாலிவுட் டச் கொடுக்கலாம்னு பிளான் இருக்கு. கன்ஃபர்ம் ஆனதும் உங்களுக்குச் சொல்றேன்!''

''ஓ.கே. உங்களுக்குப் பிடித்த கமல் படம்?''

'' 'உங்களுக்குப் பிடிச்ச ரஜினி படம்'னு ஸ்ருதியிடமும் கேட்பீங்கதானே... கமல் அங்கிள் நடிச்ச எக்கச்சக்க படங்கள் பிடிக்கும். அவர் நடிப்புக்கு, உழைப்புக்கு, ரசனைக்கு நான் ரசிகை. சரி, அப்பா படங்கள் பத்தி ஸ்ருதி என்ன பதில் சொல்றாங்கன்னு பார்ப்போம்!''

ஓவர் டு ஸ்ருதி கமல்...

''சௌந்தர்யா..?''

''வெல்... முதல் தடவை சந்திக்கப் போறோம்னு கொஞ்சம் படபடப்பு, நிறைய சந்தோஷம் இருந்தது. இப்போ சந்தோஷம் மட்டும்தான். சௌந்தர்யா ரொம்ப ஃப்ரெண்ட்லி. நேர்ல செம சிம்பிள் அண்ட் சூப்பர்ப். ரொம்பச் சின்ன வயசுல நாங்க மீட் பண்ணியிருந்தோமான்னு தெரியலை. விவரம் தெரிஞ்சு இப்பதான் சந்திக்கிறோம். இன்னும் நிறையப் பேசணும்னு ஆசை. ஓ.கே. இனிமே நிறையப் பேசலாம்!''

''கமல் மகளாக இருப்பதில் என்ன ப்ளஸ், மைனஸ்?''

''அப்பா எப்படின்னா... நான் நடிக்க வந்த பிறகு, இதுவரை 'இப்படி நடி... அப்படி நடி'ன்னு சின்னதாக்கூட அட்வைஸ் பண்ணினதே இல்லை. அது ப்ளஸ். அவரைத் தவிர எல்லோருமே 'அப்பா பேரைக் காப்பாத்திரணும்'னு சொல்றதுதான் மைனஸ். அட்வைஸைக் குறைங்கப்பா!''

''அடுத்து என்ன?''

'' 'லக்'னு ஒரு இந்திப் படத்தில் 'ஜானே து' இம்ரான் கானுடன் நடிக்கிறேன். ஒரு ஐஸ்க்ரீம் விளம் பரத்தில் நடிக்கப் போறேன். வேற ஒண்ணும் பெரிய விசே ஷம் இல்லை. காதல், மோதல்னு நீங்க எதுவும் கிசுகிசுகிளப்பி விடாம இருக்கிறதுனால, இப்போ வரை லைஃப் இஸ் பியூட்டிஃபுல்!''

''ஓ.கே. உங்களுக்குப் பிடித்த ரஜினி படம்?''

''எனக்கு எல்லா ரஜினி படங்களும் பிடிக்கும். அவரோட ஸ்டைலுக்காக ஒன்ஸ்மோர் கேட்கிற பொண்ணு நான். சௌந்தர்யா... எப்படி

Sultan’s girl

Vijayalakshmi gets talking about the Superstar and her two big films coming up.

RAJNIKANTH’S much-publicised scenes with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on the sets of Endhiran, The Robot may be making headlines but the Superstar’s stunts and duets with actress Vijayalakshmi in the first-of-its-kind animation thriller, Sultan The Warrior, remains well guarded.

As for Vijayalakshmi, she too is adamantly tight-lipped about details of the movie that is scheduled to release this summer. ‘‘The movie is an action adventure. I am paired opposite Rajini sir,’’she begins. ‘‘The movie might be presented as an animated film, but it has all the ingredients of a Rajini project, from his hallmark introduction song to duets with me,’’ she goes on to explain. Helmed by Soundarya Rajinikanth, Sultan The Warrior has been made on a budget of Rs 60 crores and is being dubbed into 18 different languages.

‘‘Most of the shooting for the film happens in the hi-tech motion capture studios in Hyderabad. And I have about 10 days of shoot left for the film. Being an animated film, the best part of the work begins after shooting it,’’ explains the daughter of director Agathiyan.

Fortunately, Vijayalakshmi’s reticence regarding the movie doesn’t extend to her reminiscences about sharing space with Rajnikanth.

‘‘His close friend Vittal was my neighbour when I was a kid. Imagine my surprise when Rajini actually told me he remembered me as the child who lived near his friend’s place!’’ she exclaims, recalling her first chat with the actor. ‘‘We had our first scene together two days into my first schedule. He called me a lucky heroine, because both my movies, Chennai 60008 and Anjathay, turned out to be big hits. He also advised me to try acting in Telugu, which he thought shaped heroines well,’’ she continues, adding that he is a fun person to be with, after breaking the ice.

Waiting in line: While her big release, Sultan The Warrior, will be hitting the screens soon, Vijayalakshmi’s other movie, Adhey Neram Adhey Idam (ANAI), with Jai, will be out inMarch. ‘‘This is my biggest role so far. I play Jai’s love interest, but this breezy love story with a twist has me playing a role with many dimensions,’’ she says. The directorial debut of Prabhu sees her with her co-star from Chennai 600028. ‘‘There’s a world of difference in him as an actor now, and he is my best friend in the industry. Our chemistry will be much talked about,’’ she states confidently .

Pinning her hopes on the two projects that will change her image from that of the ‘girl-next door’, this Chennai actress has a lot looking up for her this year.

Sultan: The Warrior in May
The eagerly-awaited animation film of Rajinikanth, Sultan: The Warrior, will be released in May. The buzz is that Rajinikanth himself will make a special appearance in a few scenes of this animated movie! Also, insiders say that this 3-D animation film will be released in more than 15 languages worldwide!

The lead pair of the film has been modeled after Rajinikanth and Vijaylakshmi using high-end motion-capture technology. Producer Soundarya Rajinikanth ensured that she used the latest technology in the field of animation, which makes this film look very close to a feature film. Importing the hardware and paraphernalia required to make such a sophisticated animation film, this young entrepreneurial producer spent about Rs. 50 crores on Sultan: The Warrior. Soundarya has proved that Chennai can also make high-quality animation movies on par with Hollywood.

Mark our words: This film will definitely earn Chennai a prominent position in the international animation film industry. Attracted by it, someday Hollywood might decide to outsource its animation assignments to Chennai, making it the hub of animation industry!

Come May, fans of Rajinikanth and animation movie lovers are in for a big treat!

Rajini’s film to be released in July
April 22, 2009
Sultan – The Warrior, the animation flick that has Rajinikanth in the main role is expected to hit the screens in July. There were reports earlier that the film would be released on Chithirai Thirunal (April 14th, 2009). Enquiries revealed that the Superstar’s busy schedule with the Shankar-directed Endhiran and Soundarya Rajinikanth’s commitment with Goa was the reason for Sultan – The Warrior’s delay.

There are few important scenes and songs that still need to be shot for this animation film, say sources in Kollywood. The film has Vijayalakshmi, in animated form, starring opposite Rajinikanth

Rajinikanth Sultan in July!

By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 23 April , 2009, 12:32

Soundarya Rajinikanth and her Ocher Studios are coming out with their magnum opus animated film Sultan- The Warrior, featuring Superstar Rajinikanth in July.

First it was said that Reliance Adlabs Big Pictures would relese the film, then it was said that Warner Brothers will be part of the project.

Now it looks like Soundarya will have to not only complete the project, but also distribute it.

Some more animated scenes and a song is yet to be picturised. And with A.R Rahman very busy with his international commitments, it is still not clear who will provide the background score for the film.

The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.

SS,

I too have doubts about STW? Expecially after watching Soundarya's work in movies like Sakkarakatti/Kuselan/Ah AAh etc etc. Moreover the cost involved considering the audience for it.
Unless a miracle happens this seems to be a wasted effort. We could very well be witnessing the aftermath of a BABA/KUSELAN for this too.

Will be extremely happy if proved wrong though.

Those are CG incorporated in "reality" under the hands of not so great directors (especially P. Vasu

).

But this is all-out CG animation, so nothing will stick out like sore thumb. Key is: the story. Entha animation eduttalum sari, if the script is good, even claymation can become big hit.

But you are right about the audience, are they ready to sit for two hours looking at nothing by CG?

A six-pack Rajini in Sultan
11 May 2009, 0000 hrs IST, TNN

Get set to whistle non-stop. Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to sport a six-pack. So what if it is in the animated film, Sultan the Warrior?
Rajinikanth
The animated Rajinikanth, in a still from Sultan the Warrior
The resemblance to Rajini is remarkable.

“We have been able to achieve a celluloid look because we motion captured him,” says Soundarya Rajinikanth, co-producer of Sultan the Warrior.

Soundarya checks the gray scale, then goes back to the original motion capture images. Forty eight cameras read only the glowing markers on a tight body suit that he wears. But Rajini does not merely go through the motions. His face, eyes, eyebrows, all come alive. “He is a director’s delight, and that is why we have been able to achieve a finish not attempted in India so far,” she adds.

Some of Hollywood’s best technicians have helped achieve the look. The facial animation (you have only around 200 muscles to replicate) has been done by Image Matrix, the company that did that fabulous work on Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. “We have outsourced nearly 30 per cent of our work and it all needs to gel together,” adds Soundarya.

The USD 5 million project has been in the making for a few years now. “Maybe I was a little too optimistic that the full length animation film (one hour and 45 minutes running time, as of now) could be finished in two years time,” she says and adds “Internationally, it is known that an animation film with VFX takes much longer.”
With a background in multimedia, how did she turn to direction and where did she get the story idea from? “Oh, it’s appa’s ‘knot’ actually,” she says. “We normally discuss stories and when he mentioned this one, I wanted to make an animated film at once. He said, ‘Come back to me with a screenplay and we will see’. I did and he gave the thumbs up,” says Soundarya.

Nearly 70 per cent of the film is done, says Ravikumar Anandaraj, chief technical officer and executive producer of the film.

It is a film set in the Chola period. With Rahul Dev having been motion captured as the villain who is also a classical dancer and a martial arts expert, will this be a kind of Sultan-meets-Bruce Wayne film? “No, he is not Superman, he cannot fly, but Sultan will connect with the warrior in every one of us. It is a commercial film with love, betrayal, revenge, action and humour,” she explains.

What about the trademark Rajni punch dialogues? “Adikkira kaathula parakkura Sultan elai illada, malai, asaikka mudiyadhu (Sultan is not a leaf to blow away in the wind, but a mountain. He is unshakable), ” Soundarya reels off one of the dialogues written by her.

“Shooting him was an awesome experience, we never had to go beyond one take, though when I said, ‘Retake’ he always obliged.”

Soundarya is also planning a glossy coffee-table book on the making of Sultan the Warrior. The mock up scenes will also be screened in theatres.

The film will be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously. The Japanese and English versions will be released “according to theatrical release norms of that country,” she adds. “India is a happening place today, which was not the case three years ago, when I participated at Mipcom at Cannes (where international content is showcased). Now, international distributors are keen to discuss our films complete with song, dance and the climax fight,” says Soundarya.

Any confusion over the release date? “All I want is to gift a good, classy product to my dad, and such a gift can be given at Diwali,” she says.

A Diwali release? She laughs and responds with a question, “Or maybe an early new year gift?”
“What matters is that he is the first southeast Asian star to be animated, and it will be a classy work, something India will be proud of. Our animation work has never crossed the oceans. It’s time it did,” says Soundarya.

So how are things with Warner Bros, with whom her company had tied up for joint ventures? She opens a mail from Richard Fox of Warner Bros and reads it. “‘It’s going good and we have many projects in the pipeline. Warner Bros has been and will continue to work with you. Together, our companies have a number of south Indian language projects in various stages of production. We will announce these projects at the appropriate time. But, any rumour that suggests otherwise is simply not true’, said Richard Fox executive vice-president International, Warner Bros,” she says.

சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினியின் ஆக்கர்ஸ் ஸ்டுடியோவுடனான கூட்டு ஒப்பந்தத்திலிருந்து விலகியதாக சொல்லப்படுபவை அனைத்தும் ஆதாரமற்றவை, வதந்திகள் என அறிவித்துள்ளது ஹாலிவுட்டின் வார்னர் பிரதர்ஸ் நிறுவனம்.

சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினியின் இளைய மகள் சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினிக்கு சொந்தமான நிறுவனம், ஆக்கர் ஸ்டூடியோ. இந்த நிறுவனத்துடன் இணைந்து தமிழ் மற்றும் இதர தென்னிந்திய மொழிகளில் நிறைய படங்கள் தயாரிக்கப் போவதாக வார்னர் பிரதர்ஸ் அறிவித்திருந்தது.

தமிழில் முதல்படமாக 'கோவா'வை இரு நிறுவனங்களும் இணைந்து தயாரிப்பதாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது. அதே போல சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினியின் முதல் அனிமேஷன் படமான சுல்தான் - தி வாரியர் படத்தை வார்னர் பிரதர்ஸ் உலகம் முழுக்க வெளியிடுவதாகவும் அறிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

இந்த நிலையில், ஆக்கர் ஸ்டூடியோவில் இருந்து வார்னர் பிரதர்ஸ் விலகிவிட்டதாக ஒரு வதந்தி பரவியது. அது உண்மையல்ல என்று வார்னர் பிரதர்ஸ் இப்போது அறிவித்து இருக்கிறது.

இதுபற்றி அந்த நிறுவனத்தின் நிர்வாக உதவி தலைவர் ரிச்சர்ட் பாக்ஸ் கூறியதாவது:

"ஆக்கர் ஸ்டூடியோவுடன் நாங்கள் இணைந்து, தொடர்ந்து பணிபுரிகிறோம். எங்கள் 2 நிறுவனங்களும் இணைந்து தென்னிந்திய மொழிகளில் பல படங்களை தயாரிக்க திட்டமிட்டு இருக்கிறோம். அதற்கான ஆரம்பகட்ட வேலைகள் தொடங்கி விட்டன.

சரியான நேரத்தில், எங்கள் திட்டங்களை அறிவிப்போம். ஆக்கர் ஸ்டூடியோவில் இருந்து நாங்கள் விலகிவிட்டதாக வெளிவந்த தகவலில் உண்மை இல்லை," என்றார் ரிச்சர்ட் பாக்ஸ்.

இதுகுறித்து சௌந்தர்யா ரஜினிகாந்த் கூறியதாவது:

"ஆக்கர் ஸ்டூடியோவும், வார்னர் பிரதர்சும் இணைந்து வெற்றிகரமாக செயல்பட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கிறன. எங்கள் 2 நிறுவனங்களுக்கும் இடையே நல்ல நட்பு இருந்து வருகிறது.

எங்களின் புதிய திட்டங்களை மிக விரைவில் அறிவிக்க இருக்கிறோம். எங்களுக்கு எதிராக வதந்திகளும், கற்பனை செய்திகளும் பரப்பப்பட்டுள்ளன. அதை யாரும் நம்ப வேண்டாம். இது குறித்து ஏற்கெனவே பல முறை நான் தெளிவாக அறிவித்துள்ளேன். ஆனால் உண்மையைச் சொல்லும்போது அதைக் கண்டுகொள்ளாமல் விட்டுவிடுகிறார்கள். வதந்திகளுக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் தருகிறார்கள்.

இதைத் தவிர்க்க வேண்டும். என்னிடம் எப்போது வேண்டுமானாலும் விசாரிக்கலாம்...", என்றார் சௌந்தர்யா.

Superstar's Sultan stills: An IG Exclusive

IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, May 13, 2009]

Rajini has never looked this good. Muscular, well built and sporting a six pack, the Sultan truly looks a million bucks. And so does Rahul Dev, who plays a dancer in Soundarya Rajinikanth’s ‘Sultan The Warrior’, looks equally stunning, as one can observe in these exclusive stills from Sultan. Rahul Dev plays a baddie in this film, which is set in the Chola Era.

The film is a first-of-its-kind project, directed and produced by Rajini’s second daughter, Soundarya Rajinikanth. Vijayalakshmi plays his love interest in the film, which is a 2009 release.

Imagine Rajini, who plays an action-packed role in the flick, belting out punch dialogues in his booming voice. Summa Adhirudhile…

தலைவர் ரஜினியுடன் ஒரு இயக்குநராகப் பணியாற்றிய அனுபவம்..
(Friday, 16th October 2009)

சௌந்தர்யா இயக்கத்தில் தலைவர் நடிக்கும் சுல்தான் - தி வாரியர் பற்றியும், சௌந்தர்யாவின் முதல் தயாரிப்பான கோவா பற்றியும் பல்வேறு செய்திகள் வருகின்றன.

ஆனால் இந்தப் படங்களின் தயாரிப்பாளர் சௌந்தர்யாவே படு உற்சாகத்திலிருக்கிறார். இரு படங்களும் அற்புதமாக வளர்ந்து வருவதாகக் கூறும் சௌந்தர்யா, தலைவர் ரஜினியுடன் ஒரு இயக்குநராகப் பணியாற்றிய அனுபவம் மிக அரிய, அருமையான அனுபவம் என்கிறார்.

இந்தியன் எக்ஸ்பிரசுக்கு அவர் அளித்த பேட்டி:

The daughter of superstar Rajinikanth debuts as producer in Kollywood with the film Goa. Soundarya’s Ocher Studios is producing the movie.

“It’s a wonderful team and I trust Venkat to do a good job. It is important to have a good chemistry between the producer and the director.”

Thumps-up to Venkat

Does she discuss work with her father superstar Rajinikanth?

“Yes, of course. He gave me his thumbs-up as he likes Venkat Prabhu.” The beautiful and energetic lady is also busy with her directorial venture Sultan-The Warrior. On her upcoming projects she says, “I am excited to have a tie-up with Warner Brothers.

My aim is to encourage newcomers — not just directors, but also technicians, actors, even cameramen and make-up artists,” says Soundarya.

So how is her directorial venture shaping up?

“Almost 70 per cent of the film is complete,” gushes the elegant lady.

How has the experience of working with her father been?

“Amazing. When I go on the floor, I’m the director and I say ‘Action Pa’ and after the shooting I go back to the room and ask him — Can we go for dinner?” The star daughter wants to place Tamil cinema on the global cinema radar and promises that the day is not too far. While the ride has not been all smooth, this pretty lass is definitely not shaken.

‘A memorable experience’

When you meet the Goa team, you will instantly know that they are more than just co-stars. Jai, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav, Sampath, Premji Amaran and Piaa — all 20-somethings but with loads of memories to share with you.

“Look at them, they pretend to be good guys, but they’re not so. They are the naughtiest and craziest bunch I’ve ever seen,” says Piaa, who has been paired up with Jai in this film. “No one was acting in the film. We were all just ourselves,” adds Piaa.

All of them pull Premji’s leg and share that he enjoyed the experience the most, thanks to his pairing with an Australian actress Melony.

They add, “A group of three goes to Goa from a village and the experience they have there forms the basic storyline.”

Sultan – The Warrior has been rechristened Hara, says sources from Kollywood. Soundarya Rajinikanth’s Ochre Studios has been producing this 3D animated film with the lady directing it. However, Ochre Studios decided to make a 30-minute feature film during the climax, something on the lines of Avatar. KS Ravi Kumar will direct this portion.

Also, the Hara team is making all arrangements to ensure that the film does not lack in technical expertise.

ரஜினி நடிக்கும் “சுல்தான்” அனிமேஷன் படம் மெகா பட்ஜெட்டில் தயாராகிறது. ரஜினி மகள் சவுந்தர்யா இயக்குகிறார். 2008ல் இதன் படப்பிடிப்பு துவங்கியது.

வெளிநாடுகளில் ரஜினி நடித்த காட்சிகள் படமாக்கப்பட்டு அனிமேஷனில் மாற் றப்பட்டது. நாயகியாக விஜயலட்சுமியும், வில்லனாக ராகுல் கேஷம் நடிக்கின்றனர். படப்பிடிப்பு இறுதி கட்டத்தில் உள்ளது. அடுத்த வருடம் தமிழ்புத்தாண்டில் படத்தை ரிலீஸ் செய்ய திட்டமிட்டுள்ளனர்.

சுல்தான் படத்துக்கு விநி யோகஸ்தர்கள் மத்தியில் பலத்த எதிர்பார்ப்பு உள்ளது. உலக மெங்கும் இதை வெளியிட முடிவு செய்துள்ளனர். சுல்தானுக்கு கிடைத்து வரும் உலகளாவிய மார்க்கெட்டை கருத்தில் கொண்டு இப்படத்தை மேலும் பிரமாண்டமாக உருவாக்கி திட்டமிடப்பட்டு உள்ளது.

“அவதார்” ஹாலிவுட் படம் சாயலில் இதை உருவாக்கு கின்றனர். “அவதார்” படம் பாதி அனிமேஷனிலும் மீதி நிஜ காட்சிகளாகவும் எடுக்கப்பட்டு இருந்தது. கதாநாயகனின் சில சீன் களை நிஜமாகவும், அந்த கேரக்டரை அனி மேஷனில் மாற்றியும் காட்டப்பட்டன.

அது போல் சுல்தான் படத்தில் ரஜினியின் முப்பது நிமிட நிஜசீன்கள் இணைக்கப்படுகின்றன. இந்த நிஜ காட்சிகளை படமாக்கும் பொறுப்பு இயக்குனர் கே.எஸ்.ரவிக்குமா ரிடம் ஒப்படைக்கப்பட்டு உள்ளது. இவர் ஏற்கனவே ரஜினியை வைத்து “படையப்பா”, “முத்து”, போன்ற ஹிட்படங்களை இயக்கியுள்ளார். அனிமேஷன், கிராபிக் பணி களை சவுந்தர்யாவும், ரஜினியின் நிஜசீன்களை இயக்கும் பொறுப்பை கே.எஸ்.ரவிக்குமாரும் பிரித்துக் கொண்டு உள்ளனர்.

“சுல்தான்” பெயரை “ஹரா” என மாற்றவும் முடிவு செய்யப்பட்டு உள்ளது.

ஹரா - இந்தியாவின் 'அவதார்'

http://rajinifans.com/latest_news_detail.html?rId=1516

இமயமலை பயணத்தை முடித்து சென்னை வந்த கையோடு 'சுல்தான் தி வாரியரை' முடித்திட தயாராகிவிட்டார் தலைவர்.

இதற்கான ஏற்பாடுகளை முழு வீச்சில் நடை பெற்று வருகின்றன.

சௌந்தர்யாவுக்கு பதிலாக சுல்தானை இயக்கும் பொறுப்பை கே. எஸ். ரவிக்குமார் ஏற்றுள்ளதாக தெரிகிறது.

ஆக்கர் ஸ்டுடியோவிடமிருந்து சுல்தானை ஜெமினி லேப் வாங்கிய பிறகு சுல்தான் தி வாரியர் பணிகள் சூடு பிடிக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டது ரசிகர்களை மட்டுமில்லாது எந்திரன் வெற்றியால் திக்குமுக்காடி போய் உள்ள விநியோகஸ்தர்களும் மிகுந்த எதிர்பார்போடுஉள்ளனர்.

வெளிவரும் செய்திகளை பார்த்தால் ‘அவதார்’ பட பாணியில் சுல்தான் வெளி வரும் போல தெரிகிறது... “அவதார்” படம் பாதி அனிமேஷனிலும் மீதி நிஜ காட்சிகளாகவும் எடுக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது.

அதே போல ரஜினி - விஜயலட்சுமி, வில்லன் ராகுல் கேஷம் ஆகியோர்களின் காட்சிகளை நிஜமாக எடுத்து, ஏற்கனவே சௌந்தர்யா எடுத்துள்ள அனிமேஷன் காட்சிகளுடன் இணைக்க கே.எஸ். ரவிக்குமார் முடிவு செய்துள்ளார்.

ஏ ஆர் ரஹ்மான் இசையில் 5 பாடல்கள் இடம்பெறுகின்றன. பாடல்களையும் ஷூட் செய்ய லொகேஷன் தேர்வு செய்யும் பணிகள் மிக மும்முரமாக நடை பெற்று வருகின்றன.

சுல்தான் தி வாரியர் புது அவதாரம் எடுத்துள்ளது போல, பெயரிலும் மாற்றம் பெறவுள்ளது.“சுல்தான் தி வாரியர்” இனி “ஹரா” என பெயர் மாற்றம் செய்யபடுகிறது.

இப்படி புதிய மாற்றகளுடன் வேகமாக வளரத் தொடங்கிவிட்ட ‘ஹரா’ தமிழ் புத்தாண்டிற்கு முழு 3 டி படமாக வெளிவர இருப்பது தான் ரசிகர்களுக்கு தலைவர் தரும் புத்தாண்டு பரிசு.

ரஜினியின் அடுத்த நாயகி வித்யா பாலன்?

http://thatstamil.oneindia.in/movies...film-hara.html

ரஜினியின் அடுத்த படமான ஹராவில் நடிக்க ஆர்வமாக உள்ளேன். ஆனால் இன்னும் அதுபற்றி எனக்கு முறையாக தகவல் வரவில்லை, என்றார் வித்யா பாலன்.

வடக்கு, தெற்கு என்ற பேதமில்லாமல், எல்லா நாயகிகளுமே இவருடன் ஒரு முறை நடித்துவிட வேண்டும் என்று துடிப்பது, ரஜினி யுடன் மட்டுமே!

அந்த வரிசையில் இப்போது சேர்ந்திருப்பவர் வித்யா பாலன்.

தமிழில் நடிக்க பல வாய்ப்புகள் வந்தாலும், இதுவரை அவர் எதையும் ஒப்புக் கொள்ளவில்லை. விக்ரம் உள்ளிட்ட நடிகர்களுடன் நடிக்க வந்த வாய்ப்புகளை மறுத்துவிட்டார்.

இந்த நிலையில் ரஜினியின் சுல்தான் தி வாரியர் படம் , ஹரா என்ற பெயர் மாற்றத்தோடு, அவதார் ஸ்டைலில் தயாராகிறது. மோஷன் கேப்சரிங் தொழில்நுட்பத்தில் உருவாகும் இந்தப் படத்தில் நிஜ ரஜினியுடன், அனிமேஷன் ரஜினியும் தோன்றுவது போல காட்சிகள் மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளன. இதற்காக ரஜினி 20 நாட்கள் கால்ஷீட் கொடுத்துள்ளார்.

ஜெமினி பிலிம் சர்க்யூட் நிறுவனம் தயாரிக்கும் இந்தப் படத்தை இப்போது இயக்குபவர் கே எஸ் ரவிக்குமார்.

படத்தில் முதலில் நாயகியாக விஜயலட்சுமி நடித்திருந்தார். இப்போது, இன்னொரு நாயகியாக வித்யா பாலனும் நடிப்பார் என்று கூறப்பட்டது.

இதுகுறித்து வித்யா பாலன் கூறுகையில், ரஜினி படத்தில் நடிக்க எனக்கும் ஆசைதான். தமிழ் நான் நடிக்கும் முதல் படம் ரஜினியுடன் அமைந்தால், அதைவிட அதிர்ஷ்டம் எதுவுமில்லை. இதைக் கேள்விப்பட்டதிலிருந்து எனது பெற்றோரும், நான் ரஜினியுடன் நடிக்கும் நாளை ஆவலுடன் எதிர்ப்பார்க்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டார்கள். ஆனால் இன்னும் எனக்கு முறையான அழைப்பு வரவில்லை.மீடியா செய்திகள் தான்... அழைப்பு வந்தால் அடுத்த நிமிடம் சென்னையில் இருப்பேன்", என்றார்.

A long awaited movie of Superstar Rajini ‘Sultan- The Warrior’, which is directed by his second daughter Soundarya is in process of changing its title to ‘Hara’. It is not the fisrt time Rajini is acting in a film that had Lord Shiva’s name as the title, his earlier movies with Lord Shiva’s title were ‘Annamalai’ and ‘Arunachalam’, both were huge hits then.

Another intresting thing is that Rajini lucky mascot K S Ravikumar is directing few portions of the movie. “While Soundarya will take care of the animation part, Ravikumar will wield the megaphone for some crucial scenes in which fans would get to see the real Rajini in action. Hara will be a real treat for the audience”, sources say.

After a huge success of Endhiran worldwide the unit is planning to release ‘Hara’ as early as possible.

Sutlan The Warrior

பேரு வைக்கும்போதே இரு தேறுமா, தேறாதா என்பதை பற்றி அதிகம் யோசிப்பதில்லை இயக்குனர்கள். வரிவிலக்கு வராது. பார்த்துங்க என்று தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்கம் எச்சரித்தாலும், பின்னாடி பார்த்துக்கலாம் என்று அப்போதைக்கு ரிஜிஸ்தர் செய்ய சொல்கிறார்களாம். கொஞ்சம் யோசிச்சு செஞ்சா ஒட்டிக்கு ரெட்டி வேலை இருக்காதுல்ல என்கிறார்கள் திரையுலகத்தில்.

ரெடி என்று பெயர் வைத்து படத்தையே முடித்து விட்டார்கள். ரிலீசுக்கு தியேட்டர் தேடுகிற நேரத்தில்தான் உத்தம புத்திரன் என்று பெயரை மாற்றியிருக்கிறார்கள். முதலில் குவார்ட்டர் கட்டிங்காக இருந்து பின்புதான் ஒட்டிக்கொண்டது வ. பிரபுதேவா நல்ல நேரத்திலேயே நாயகம். இப்போ இன்னும் விநாயகம். யாரையும் கலந்தாலோசிக்காமல் இச் என்றார். வரிவிலக்கு விஷயத்தில் உதட்டை பிதுக்கி ப்ச் என்று அலுத்துக் கொண்டது அரசு. வேறு வழியில்லாமல் இப்போது எங்கேயும் காதல் என்று மாற்றியிருக்கிறார்.

இவர்களுக்கெல்லாம் சளைத்தவர் அல்ல என்று நிரூபித்திருக்கிறார் ரஜினி மகள் சவுந்தர்யா. இவரது தயாரிப்பில் உருவாகியிருக்கும் சுல்தான் தி வாரியர் படத்துக்கு ஹரா என்று பெயர் வைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. இது தமிழ் பெயர் இல்லை என்பது சம்பந்தப்பட்ட எல்லாருக்கும் தெரியும். அப்படியும் ஹரா என்று பெயர் வைத்திருப்பது எந்த நம்பிக்கையில்? ஒரு வேளை வரிவிலக்கே வேண்டாம். தியேட்டர் முதலாளிகள் கட்டட்டும் என்று நினைக்கிறார்களோ என்று முணுமுணுக்கிறது கோடம்பாக்கம்.

K S RAVI KUMAR UNSURE ABOUT DIRECTING RAJINI

http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...-01-11-10.html

There have been reports that director KS Ravi Kumar will direct the feature film portions of Hara, an animation film which was earlier titled Sultan the warrior. Soundarya is directing the animated version of this film. But sources close to the director say that this is not official yet. Though KS Ravi Kumar has been discussing Hara with Rajini, whom he meets on a regular basis, he hadn’t actually signed the papers to direct the film.

We also hear from our sources in Kollywood, that Ochre Studios, the producers of Hara, will make a formal announcement on who will direct Hara’s feature film segment.

From: Miss Kavya on 2nd November 2010 09:16 PM [Full View]

RAJINI AND GEMINI FUSION

Folks at Gemini Film Circuit are reportedly in talks with Soundarya Rajinikanth’s Ochre Studios to produce Hara jointly. Discussions are afoot in this regard after Soundarya decided to make the film part animation and part feature film. There is also a buzz that KS Ravi Kumar may direct Hara’s feature film portions.

There is no official word either on the production house co-producing this film or KSR wielding the megaphone. Let’s wait for more info on this upcoming Rajinikanth, as expectations are rife after his recent success with Enthiran.

Vidya and Katrina fight for Rajnikanth

After the astounding success of ENDHIRAN, Rajnikanth is now gearing up for his next film, HARA, being directed by his daughter, Soundarya. The film was earlier titled SULTAN- THE WARRIOR. The hunt for the female lead is on with Vidya Balan and Katrina Kaif being the front runners.

Reveals a close hand, 'Yes, Rajnikanth's SULTAN- THE WARRIOR is now called HARA. HARA is one of the synonyms for Lord Shiva or Lord Krishna. It's a 3D animation film. 50% of the film has already been shot.'

The close hand further added, "There's a fight between Vidya Balan and Katrina Kaif for the female lead."

The curiosity surrounding a Rajnikanth film is always huge. Let's wait and watch how this one shapes up.

RAJINI IS NOW LORD KRISHNA!

Nov 03, 2010

Hara (earlier Sultan – the Warrior) will show Rajini in the lines of Lord Krishna. The film’s director Soundarya has changed Rajini’s look and mannerisms to suit the audiences’ tastes. The Superstar will be amour-clad and several of his stylish mannerisms have been adopted in Hara.

Sources report that the title has been changed to Hara so that the character played by Rajini can be identified with Lord Krishna – the savior of the universe.

Hara will be released in 12 languages, is another piece of information from the sources close to the team.

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth's much-anticipated computer animation film Hara (which was earlier named Sultan The Warrior), being directed and produced by Rajinikanth's younger daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth, is expected to grace screens worldwide by April-May 2011.

The music by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman is likely to hit the stands in the near future. There are also reports that the last 30 minutes of the film will be in live-action format and K.S. Ravikumar has been signed to direct those sequences.

From: Miss Kavya on 7th November 2010 06:17 PM [Full View]

Rajnikanth is elated with the kind of response Robo has been getting all over the world. Even though his next film as hero isn’t fixed as of now, he is considering the animation flick ‘Hara’ as his regular film. Rajnikanth’s daughter Soundarya Rajnikanth is directing this animation film that has Rajni animated character in the lead.

Soundarya has named it ‘Sultan – The Warrior’ before Rajni changed the title to ‘Hara’. Rajnikanth doesn’t want this animated film to go wasted for wrong reasons and is taking utmost care about this film at the moment.

Rajnikanth decided to do half an hour live action scenes for this film to spice it up and help it to reach the masses. K.S. Ravikumar is roped into direct this live action scenes while Soundarya will wind off the remaining animation part.

Keeping Robo’s huge success in mind, Ocher studios that is producing this film is expecting ‘Hara’ to go beyond expectations. Animation cinema is not the southern cine buffs cup of tea until now. Hara wants to break the jinx and be the first ever animation film from South to conquer the world!
