Sultan the Warrior
Sultan the Warrior is a forthcoming Indian computer animated historical drama film being written, produced, designed, and directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth, daughter of Rajinikanth. Pre-production of the film began in 2007 and filming took place intermittently until 2010. The film is expected to be released in English, Tamil, Hindi and Telugu.[1] The film's lead character is an animated version of Rajinikanth, who will also lend his voice for the dialogues while Vijayalakshmi Agathiyan and Prakash Raj will also render voices for pivotal characters.[2] The film is distributed by Adlabs and Warner Bros.
During mid-2007, an animated film featuring Rajinikanth as the animated character was under discussion. Several media claimed that the actor would star in animated television advertisements about HIV and AIDs in India. Later that year it was reported that his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth would direct her maiden venture with her father in the lead, also stating that it would be an animated film. She rose to fame after working in the 2004 film Anbe Aaruyire as the film's graphic designer. When the Rajinikanth-starrer Sivaji made its theatrical release, a trailer of Sultan the Warrior also made its debut. An animated Rajinikanth was shown, dressed in medieval attire, also stating that it would be released in 2008, though it would take much longer as Soundarya later became busy with her first production Goa (2010).
In late 2007, Soundarya Rajinikanth had travelled to Brazil for working on the animation of the film. The next year, it was reported that her home production company, Ocher Studios, had joined hands with Warner Bros. India, thus, Warner Bros. would distribute Sultan the Warrior, once it was released.[3] Animation of the film is to be done by a Chennai-based animation studio, along with international specialists. The soundtrack for the film is being composed by two-time Academy Award-winner A. R. Rahman.
