It’s final. The most awaited Indian film of 2013 will be released in July. The next Rajnikanth release Kochadaiyaan in Tamil, Telugu, English and Hindi is a do-or-die epic for its producer, the enterprising Dr Murali Manohar. For the first time in Indian cinema the Motion-Capture technique in 3D was used. The technique has not only enhanced Rajnikanth slackened-down celluloid energy-level (post his illness) it would also bring to his fans their idol in a new avatar.

They’ve always been the best of friends and the best of rivals. The two super-icons of Tamil cinema Kamal Haasan and Rajnikanth have always stood by each other and even counselled their respective fanatic fan clubs to desist from disruptive practices against the other superstar’s releases. It therefore comes as no surprise to know that Rajnikanth would be watching Kamal Haasan’s controversial <em>Vishwaroopam</em> today (6 February 2013).

Now here’s some interesting piece of news that will have movie lovers in a tizzy all around! We hear that two of India’s biggest superstars Sanjay Dutt and Rajnikanth recently had a long and interactive session, following which they bonded over tea. Sanjay Dutt has been shooting in Chennai for his upcoming film <em>Policegiri</em>, (remake of the hit Tamil film <em>Saamy</em>) directed by Ravi Kumar. After Rajnikanth happened to hear that Dutt was in the city, he immediately sent a warm request to Dutt and director Ravi Kumar to visit his home.

When one heard of Rajnikanth returning to Hindi cinema one was skeptical. After all, the Tamil mega-star is yet to complete his first post-illness project the long in the pipeline <em>Kochadaiyyan</em>. Then was he in a position to start another film, and that too with K C Bokadia? Apparently Bokadia has approached Rajnikanth for a stellar role in his new film <em>The Dirty Politics</em>. Yes, the same project where Mallika Sherawat plays a character based on Bhanwari Devi, the nurse who was allegedly bumped off by a influential politician in Rajasthan.
