When a then 60 year old Rajinikanth romanced a then 35 year old Aishwarya Rai in Robot (2010), did you imagine the next time the south superstar is cast opposite a Bollywood beauty, it would be a 27 year old Katrina Kaif?
You heard it right! Katrina Kaif has bagged the coveted role opposite southern legend Rajinikanth in Kochadaiyaan, being directed by none other than his daughter, Soundarya.
"It's true. We were very keen on Katrina. Two superstars together from the South and the North would create magic," a very important member of the film's production team revealed. "We've been negotiating with her for some time. She is shooting for Yash Chopra, and has assured us of her dates in the next few months."
Katrina, who is busy shooting two back-to-back Yash Raj films - Ek Tha Tiger withSalman Khan, and an untitled one with Shah Rukh Khan - will accommodate Rajinikanth's dates in between her tight schedule. All other portions of the film have been shot, and only the ones with Katrina remain. Her dates will be worked out soon, and the film will then be complete, the member said.
"In Kochadaiyaan, Rajinikanth plays a king, a devotee of Lord Shiva. His love story with Katrina, their songs, will be shot on an epic scale," disclosed a very reliable source. A R Rahman, who is known to take his time over scores, has recorded most of the music, including the love song to be filmed on Rajinikanth and Katrina. "Rahman is bringing 130 musicians from Germany to record the background score," the source further revealed.
The main reason why Katrina agreed to do this film despite her super tight schedule is because she really wanted to work with Rajinikanth since the longest possible time.
The first look of Kochadaiyaan, which literally means, "the king with long hair", will be unveiled in the third week of January. Of course, Rajinikanth will sport long flowing tresses for the part… even if it means donning a wig!
