Reasons why fans look forward to Kochadaiiyaan

A Rajinikanth film gives audiences enough reasons to throng cinema halls, but here are select reasons for which the superstar’s ardent fans will watch his forthcoming release Kochadaiiyaan, in which he features in an animated format for the first time.

Directed by his daughter Soundarya R. Ashwin, Kochadaiiyaan releases worldwide Friday on nearly 6,000 screens and IANS lists down the highlights of the film that will lure the hardcore Rajini fans:

- Thalaivar’s return to silver screen: His long absence from the silver screen is one of the reasons. Rajinikanth was last seen on the screen in 2010 Tamil film ace Enthiran.

 His fans feel they’ve waited too long to see him back on screen. Therefore, despite its release being postponed multiple times, there’s a strong buzz around Kochadaiiyaan.

Rajini’s Rudhra Thaandav: He has wowed fans across the globe with his distinct style - be it his punch lines or his cigarette stunt, but Rajinikanth has always refrained from dancing because his dancing skill is limited to a very few steps. 

But in Kochadaiiyaan, he will be seen performing Rudhra Thaandav, which fans are excited about.

Motion capture technology: Kochadaiiyaan is said to be the country’s first film to be made using motion capture 

technology, which has been used in the west in films such as 300 and The Hobbit series. ians
