The career graph of Sonu Sood is on a never before high. The hot and happening villain of Tollywood and Bollywood will cross swords with Superstar Rajinikanth in ‘Rana’, which has the top actor in three different roles.

“Rajini sir is a legend. I am extremely thrilled about working with him. Yes, he will beat me up in Rana,” says Sonu. Buzz is that Sonu was handpicked for the role by none other than the Superstar himself.

Meanwhile, sources in the know have it that K S Ravikumar, the director of ‘Rana’, is working fast gear to give finishing touches to the script. “In all probability, Rana will go on floors by the second week of March,” they say.

Produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth’s Ocher Studios and Eros International, ‘Rana’ is touted to be a period film, which will feature the Superstar as an emperor and two other roles.
