CHENNAI: Roll over Mickey Mouse, Rajnikant is starring in an animation film. In the wake of a near nationwide craze for the southern superstar, Soundarrya, the daughter of Rajinikant, has announced the first full length animation film on her father, which will make him the first Indian star to be thus portrayed.
"We're completing Sultan: The Warrior, in a record 14 months. It'd be full of Rajni mannerisms and punch lines for which my father is known and loved," Soundarya told TOI. The film will be released by the end of 2008. Rajni will appear as a mythological, large-than-life hero in this gripping action adventure film. Sultan targets adults and kids alike and will be launched in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English and Japanese. Soundarya, who studied multimedia production in Australia, said, "The most exciting thing about this film is that we've animated Rajni to perfection and he's also lending the voice." A R Rahman is the music director of the 90-minute film, which will have five songs. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Boss_to_star_in_animation_next/articleshow/2127101.cms
