There was once an able king, and hence, happy and content citizens. But on a fateful day, one of the king's close friends plots against him and acquires his kingdom, while the king was driven away. The king gets a baby boy, who grows up to become a great warrior, and fights and redeems the kingdom that rightfully belongs to him.

This is not any other story. This is the story of the period set impressive production, starring Superstar Rajinikanth, titled 'Kochadaiyaan'. The old king is Kochadaiyaan and the son (which will also be played by Rajinikanth) is named Rana. One of the best highlights of the film is said to be the shot where Rana encounters a shark and successfully fights it down. However, it has also been reported earlier that the film involves a lot of dolphins. Written by KS Ravikumar and directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth, the film stars Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone in the lead, and has been promised to be released before the end of this year.
