CHENNAI: Period flick Kochadaiyaan will mark the return of superstar Rajinikanth to the silver screen, after a series of hospitalisations since April for reported lung and kidney disorders. The actor took ill on the launch day of his film Rana on April 30, and had flown to Singapore in May, for further treatment. Despite a song and a few scenes being shot, Rana was believed to be junked, as the actor, still convalescing, would not be able to do a demanding triple role in a historic film. It has now been revealed that Rajini will take up Rana after he finishes this film. This announcement has come as a surprise to Rajini fans, who are unsure on why he will act in two consecutive period flicks. Despite these similarities, the two are entirely different films, said a source.Kochadaiyaan’s heroine and technicians are yet to be finalised, and shooting is expected to start soon. Its story, screenplay and dialogues have been penned by filmmaker KS Ravikumar, who was supposed to direct Rajini in Rana. He will also supervise the direction of the film, an official release said.
