Katrina Kaif has bagged the coveted role opposite southern legend Rajinikanth in Kochadaiyaan, being directed by none other than his daughter, Soundarya. When contacted, Soundarya confirmed the developments, saying: “Yes, we are indeed in talks with Katrina and we will let you know soon.” Katrina, who is busy shooting two back-to-back Yash Raj films – ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ with Salman Khan, and an untitled one with Shah Rukh Khan – will accommodate Rajinikanth’s dates in between her tight schedule.
All other portions of the film have been shot, and only the ones with Katrina remain. Her dates will be worked out soon, and the film will then be complete, the member said. A R Rahman is composing the music for the film. As for Katrina, it will be tough but she really wanted to work with Rajinikanth for the longest possible time, according to a friend.
The first look of Kochadaiyaan, which literally means, ‘the king with long hair’, will be unveiled in the third week of January. Of course, Rajinikanth will sport long flowing tresses for the part-even if it means donning a wig.
