The long in the making, Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Kochadaiiyaan is finally set for a grand release. The official word from the makers is that the movie will be released worldwide in more than 6000 screens on the 11th of April in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Marathi, Punjabi, Bhojpuri & English.
Directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin, Kochadaiiyaan is touted to be an epic dramatization of good versus evil, also starring Deepika Padukone, Sarath Kumar, Nassar, Aadhi, Shobana, Jackie Shroff and Rukmini.
Made using photorealistic performance capture technology, the movie has been funded by Eros International and Media One Global Entertainment on a massive scale.

A team of technical experts from South India and China have apparently worked on this technology, with the best production facilities in London, for the overall completion of the project.
