Rajini’s Rana inspired by Dasavatharam

Feb 08, 2011

Nobody would forget the ten characters played by Kamal Haasan in his magnum opus Dasavatharam. The Kamal-KS Ravi Kumar duo combination broke all the records at the box office, before the Rajini-starrer Enthiran hit the theatres.

Now Kollywood is abuzz that Rajini’s Rana, which is to be directed by KS Ravikumar, has drawn inspiration from Dasavatharam. According to a source, during the discussion about the ten roles and their unique characterization, Kamal and KSR created the best 13 characters and out of 13 they had picked 10 characters suitable for the movie.

The left out 3 characters are said to be the role played by the Rajini in the movie Rana. KSR is very close to both Rajini and Kamal and it is said that this is one more example of their friendship.

2011-03-27 16:01:14

Finally, producer Soundarya Rajinikanth and director KS Ravikumar were forced to hold a press conference, to make clarifications about their Rana.

Daily rumours were making the rounds about Rekha demanding Rs 4 Crore, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and so many others approached for the film.

At a joint press conference attended by Soundarya and Ravikumar, things were made clear.

Said Ravikumar: " First and foremost, I would like to make it clear that Rana is not a new avatar of Sultan The Warrior. Both are different films, Rana is set in the 17th century, and the story plot is Rajinikanth's."

Ravikumar also made it clear that Rekha, Hema Malini, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Ileana, Trisha and Asin, who were touted to be part of the project have never been approached. Said Ravikumar: “ “I just don’t understand how these rumours start.

As of now, only Deepika Padukone has been signed. Rajinikanth has three get up's and there are many other characters in the film. We are fine tuning the script and will start shoot only April end."

Rana is a big budget movie that will cost Rs 100 Crore plus and is produced by Eros International, AR Rahman is the music director with Ratnavel as the cameraman.

A R Rahman, is a busy bee these days working in a handfull of movies. It includes a biggie - Superstar Rajinikanth’s Rana.

Buzz is that rahman has completed two songs, which have impressed Rajini and director K S Ravikumar a lot.

According to sources, the Oscar-Grammy winner is now busy tuning the rest of the songs for the mega venture, which would have Rajini playing a triple role, including that of an emperor.

'The two songs composed by Rahman have all the qualities to become chartbusters. They will be shot on lavish sets and beautiful locations soon. Shooting of Rana will start later this month,' sources further say.

Rana will have Deepika Padukone as heroine. Story is by the Superstar himself.

Could Rana be the sequel of Baba, since SS wrote the script plus Baba's end note was "To be continued..."?
