The Superstar left to London this morning (March 17) for the shoot of his forthcoming magnum opus 3D flick, ‘Kochadaiyaan’. Rajinikanth along with daughter and helmer of his project, Soundarya Ashwin and KS Ravikumar took a flight from Chennai to London for a 20 day shoot.

While speaking to the media at the airport Rajini expressed, “We’re trying our best to release Kochadaiyaan for Diwali”. Speaking about the London schedule he said, “There’s a 20-day shoot in a studio at London where we wrap 40% of the talkies and a song, the rest of the film will be shot in India”.

Rajini’s lead lady Deepika Padukone, Sarathkumar, Rukimini and Sarathkumar will be leaving to London in a couple of days as well.

The film until recently was touted to be India’s first ever performance capture film, however, recently Suriya’s ‘Maatraan’ that’s releasing this summer adopted this technology.

‘Kochadaiyaan’ is a period entertainer that supposedly sees Rajini in two avatars, that of father and son. It’s doubtlessly one of the biggest projects of the year eagerly awaited by Tamil film patrons across the country.
