While Eros International & MediaOne's magnum opus Kochadaiiyaan ,India's first ever photo-realistic motion capture starring superstar Rajinikanth is soon to hit the silver screen, actor Imran Khan who is also associated with the animation film Rio is all praise for the makers of Kochadaiiyaan and their bold attempt to pioneer new technology in the country.

Says Imran, "Kochadaiiyaan marks a big leap for animation movies.If you look back, 10 years ago even in Hollywood it wasn't a big thing. In the last 10 to 12 years, it has started growing in Hollywood and became part of the mainstream, so we have to give it a little bit of timeThe fact that a star as big as Rajini sir has taken part in this (animation) process is obviously a big step forward. That is the kind of thing that will encourage other people also. If he can do it, we can also do it".
