Now hear from a source in Kollywood that the character played by Rajini will have an adult daughter in the yet to be titled film and the team is on the search for a star face to play that role.

Radhika Apte will be playing Rajini's wife in this film while Dinesh, Kalaiyarasan and Prakash Raj are will be joining the team to play important supporting roles.

The Superstars character had adult daughters in his blockbuster films Padaiyappa' and Annamalai'. But the script of those films showcased the life of the character played by Rajini from its young days, there by offering scope for youthful elements. It is unclear whether Rajini will appear as a aged man in the entire film to be directed by Ranjith or this film will also have portions showing him as a youngster.

The film which will be produced by Kalaipuli S.Thanu is expected to go on floors by the end of this month or early September in Malaysia.
