The shooting of Superstar Rajinikanth’s forthcoming film ‘Raana’, which was initially scheduled to start Monday last, has been delayed by a week, thanks to pending in completion of art work.

“Grand sets are being erected for ‘Raana’ at AVM Studios in Chennai. Since enough care is being exercised to give 17th century look to each and every aspect of the sets, it’s taking time,” say sources.

The film which will feature Rajini in a triple role is directed by K S Ravikumar, the Superstar’s lucky mascot. Eros International will produce the movie in association with Soundarya Rajinikanth’s Ocher Studios.

“Rahman has completed composing two songs for ‘Raana’. They are rich and reflect well the mood of the movie. Since the script is by the Superstar himself, Ravikumar found it easy to pen the screenplay,” they add.
