3) Sultan - The Warrior
http://www.sultanthefilm.com
Director - Soundarya Rajinikanth
Producer - Adlabs, Soundarya Rajinikanth [Ocher Films]
- Animation film based on Superstar Rajinikanth.
- Adlabs, in association with Chennai-based Ocher Studios, is experimenting in its own way by trying to cash in on the hysteria surrounding the Tamil super-star Rajnikanth. “We’ve used the motion-capture technology to portray Rajnikanth’s persona in our forthcoming film Sultan the warrior,” says Sidhartha Jain, Head of Animation, Adlabs. The film will be directed by his daughter Soundarya and will release by early 2009. Industry sources say that the movie will have a budget of around Rs 40- 50 crore.
- Soundarya Rajinikanth talks about the film and music - "It is indeed a big film. It is the first in many ways. It’s the first time a live action actor is getting animated in a full length feature film. It’s the first animation feature for A R Rahman. We are targeting on reaching 90% realism with the 3D characters and the look and feel of the film. In terms of cost, I would say the budget of the film is close to that of a big budget live action flick. I will be using few star voices for the characters in the movie apart from my father who is lending his voice for his part. The film has four full length songs which will be choreographed by prominent choreographers, typical Indian style. We are having an English title track which will feature a main stream English music star. It is a mythological fictitious flick. It is not a story already told nor is it an excerpt from an epic. It’s my father’s story. We are planning 12-14 mainstream world languages, including English. It is an hour and 30 mins film, which I’m working very hard on completing on a record time of less than 2 years! Animation features take close to 4 -5 years production time for completion."
