Superstar Rajinikanth’s next Tamil flick, under KS Ravikumar’s direction, ‘Rana’s huge sets at AVM Studios have been erected. Sources say that, the shooting will begin on Worker’s Day that is on May 1. A few important scenes and a dance sequence of Superstar with lead lady Deepika Padukone will be shot on May 1.

Deepika sports a whole-new-look in this movie with perfect South Indian makeup and wear. While Ileana plays the love of one of the characters played by Rajini, Tabu will be paired with the Senior Rana in the movie. Sonu Sood of Arundathi fame will play the antagonist in this film. A. R. Rahman is composing the tunes for this period movie and looks like he has already composed a few tunes!

However, the highlight is that the director would like to retain and build upon the surprise element of the movie and so he has issued access cards to the cast and crew of ‘Rana’ who alone can gain entry in the sets, that is to say the eighth floor in AVM Studios.

This is probably the first time in Kollywood, or Indian Film industry where access cards have been issued to gain entry into sets!
