Director Soundarya R. Ashwin was elated after her father, Rajnikanth, watched the edited version of the film and appreciated it.
Soundarya tweeted: “One of the most important days of my life. Kochadaiyaan locked. Appa and Ravikumar uncle watched the film and are thrilled.”
Director K.S. Ravikumar, who has written the story, screenplay and dialogues of the film, said, “The film is thrilling, big in canvas and much larger in grandeur than I anticipated.”
According to the team, ‘Kochadaiyaan’ is a unique concept that immortalises Rajnikanth.
The shooting of ‘Kochadaiyaan’ began in March last year at the Pinewood Studios in London where Hollywood films such as the James Bond and Harry Potter series have been shot.
