Kochadaiiyaan has been made at a budget of Rs 125 crore and took two years to complete
Chennai:
Tamil period-drama Kochadaiiyaan, starring superstar Rajinikanth, has been made at a budget of Rs 125 crore, says its producer J Murali Manohar. He also says that his film should not be compared with Avatar or Tin Tin because they were made at huge budgets.
Kochadaiiyaan marks the directorial debut of Soundarya R Ashwin. It is touted as India's first motion capture photo-realistic 3D animated film.
"Our film is made with a budget of Rs 125 crore and it took us two years. Avatar was made with a budget of Rs 3,000 crore and was completed in five years; while Tin Tin cost about Rs 4,000 crore and also took about five years. Looking at the budget and time, we can't compare Kochadaiiyaan with these films," Manohar told IANS.
"When Soundarya approached me with the concept, I was moved by her conviction in the film and the technology. I told her that you are an ambitious director and I'm a gutsy producer, let's do the film," he said.
The film is jointly produced by Eros International and Media One Global Entertainment. There are plans to release the movie in 12 languages.
