Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Kochadaiyaan, probably the first film after the actor recovered from ill health, has released it firstlook yesterday [5th January].
The 60-plus southern superstar Rajinikanth will sport an eight-pack, lean, muscular look in his forthcoming “photorealistic†flick, Kochadaiyaan.
The “first look†of the film, released yesterday by her daughter Sundarya R Aswin and other producers, presents the actor on tiptoes in a martial arts posture.
Soundariya Ashwin’s debutant directorial Kochadaiyaan is a 3D film that showcases Thalaivar as a king, who is a devotee of lord Shiva.
The firstlook poster has Rajini doing Shivathandavam on the top of mountains for the blessings of god. Kochadaiyaan also stars Shobana, Sarath Kumar, Nassar, Jackie Shroff, Sneha and Aadhi in other important roles.
In Kochadaiyaan, Rajinikanth will play a long-haired, eighth century Pandya king known for his legendary valour.
In motion capture, the actors wear body suits with reflective magnetic markers which will plot their movements and expressions through several digital cameras and impart them to animated characters using high-end computers and software.
This technique makes animation close to natural and captures even the subtle expressions and movements of body parts as one saw in Avatar or Tintin.
