CHENNAI: The Superstar is going to be back in action soon, and the wait to see him onscreen could be less than a year! Ending more than six months of speculation over his next flick, it is now confirmed that actor Rajinikanth will star next in a period film titled Kochadaiyaan. After acting in science-fiction flick Endhiran, his last film, it is now revealed that the Superstar will feature next in this 3D film to be directed by his daughter Soundarya Ashwin, slated for an August 2012 release. The film will use performance capturing technology, or motion capture, like Hollywood blockbusters Avatar and The Adventures of Tintin. It is said to be for the first time that such technology is being used in India.The title Kochadaiyaan refers to a king with matted hair (Ko meaning King, and chadaiyaan meaning one with matted hair), said industry sources, hinting at the possibility of Rajini playing a king in the film. Kochadaiyaan, incidentally, is also the first name of seventh century Pandya ruler Kochadaiyaan Ranadheeran, leading to speculation that Rajini could be reprising the role of this historic king. Rana is the name of the flick that Rajini was originally supposed to be working on, which he will now take up after Kochadaiyaan. Dheera was the new title given to his animated film Sultan The Warrior, which is yet to see the light of day.
