Rajni Forever: Kochadaiyaan


Rajni Forever

Saumesh Thimbath

While I was talking to a friend about Rajnikanth's upcoming film Kochadaiyaan and the news that the Superstar plans quitting acting after the release of the movie, we were thinking about a post-Rajnikanth scenario. Considering the actor's huge fan-following, which keeps increasing every day, thanks to lungi dances and homage videos, the entertainment industry is not going to get enough of Rajnikanth in his lifetime. That was when we hit on the possibility that Rajni movies would still be released even when the star and everybody who reads this will be long dead and gone. Or atleast we should not write off such a possibility, as recent strides in movie making technology, like performance capture and animation, have the potential to make that a reality. Performance capture, which uses the sampling of subtle movements of actors, is a step ahead of 3D animation as the movements of the onscreen digitally created character is smoother and life-like.

Given the growing craze over Rajnikanth, which the business houses have not-so-small contribution in revving up, movies starring but not acted by him might be a common thing in the future.
