“You will have 100 times of Rajini’s mannerisms and style”, declared Soundarya Rajinikanth, the director of ‘Sultan the Warrior’, who met the media persons on January 13 at Inox Theatre in Chennai.

The occasion was launching the second teaser trailer of the 3D animated movie featuring superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. The movie is a joint venture by Adlabs and Ocher Studios. The movie would be first of its kind in India.

While Soundarya has written the screenplay, it is none other than Rajini, who has written the story. Will this movie have Rajini style ‘punch’ dialogues? “Yes”, confirmed Soundarya with enthusiasm. “I have penned a couple of such dialogues”, added the girl.

Soundarya, the MD of Ocher Studios, informed the media that most of the animation work would be done in her studio located in Chennai. The quality of the animation will be on par with the international standards, said Sundarya with pride. The character modeling, texturing, visual effects, lighting, animation, and rendering are being done in in-house, she informed.

Soundarya said that her father is the only character being featured from the real life. All the others would be fictitious animated characters. The film, she further added, would have a heroine, and a comedian to make it a perfect entertainer. The movie has four songs penned by leading lyricist Vairamuthu set to tunes by A.R. Rahman. The art department is taken care by Thotta tharani.

As far as Rajini’s inimitable style and mannerisms, she assured that the 3D movie would have them in abundance. “In animation, the sky is the limit”, said the 23 year old entrepreneur.

Lata Rajinikanth, Chairperson of Ocher Studios gently intervened when a reporter asked a question comparing ‘Sultan’ and Shankar’s ‘Robot’. “The trailer resembles Robot”, was the remark made by the reporter. “Have you seen the movie Robot, sir?” was the question posed by Lata in response. “Robot is yet to be launched and no one knows what director Shankar has in mind”, she added.

Earlier, the trailer was screened to the packed audiences consisting media persons and the team members of Ocher Studios. The trailer promised a typical Rajini show with action ad style. A.R. Rahman’s music added to the grandeur of the project.

The multilingual film will be released by the end of 2008.
