Until yesterday it was Anushka's name that was floating around for the heroine's spot in Rajinikanth's upcoming film 'Kochadaiyaan.' Well now there is a strong whiff from the north that the Superstar might be seen romancing a B-town beauty in 'Kochadaiyaan.'

While it is yet not clear as to who will be playing Superstar's lead lady, sources close to 'Kochadaiyaan' team reveal that the producers are in talks with a couple of lead ladies in Bollywood.

There are also some interesting facts about this film that are unraveling. Some sources reveal that 'Kochadaiyaan' is one of the names of lord Shiva. Yet another few suggest that this film has been inspired by the life story of Kochadaiyaan Rana Dheeran, the famous Pandya king.

The script for this film has been jointly penned by director KS Ravikumar and Soundarya. While talks regarding the heroine are on, some indicate that the name of the lead lady will be revealed in less than a week's time. The director recently revealed that the film has been inspired by history but at the same time it is fictional too.
