‘Kochadaiyaan’, the first 3D motion capture computer-animated flick starring Rajinikanth & Deepika Padukone will be hitting the screens on 11th April.

Promoting a film is quite important now a days, so even ‘Kochadaiyaan’ will be promoted well. But megastar Rajinikanth won’t be promoting the film.

A source close to the actor said, “Rajini Sir doesn’t wish to be seen too often in the public. He plays a medieval super-hero in Kochadaiyaan and wants the image of invincible superstar to remain foremost in the public eye.”

So, now the much anticipated film of the year will be promoted by none other than Rajinikanth’s co-star Deepika Padukone. However, the actress has a busy schedule and it will be difficult for her to fly around the nation to promote the film.

“But this is very important. And Deepika knows it; Rajini Sir won’t be promoting Kochadaiyaan beyond the initial formalities. Deepika has the greatest regard for Rajini Sir and has readily agreed to travel with the film for promotion,” said a source close to the project.

The co-producer of the film, Dr Murli Manohar says, “Throughout the making of this film, Deepika has been immensely co-operative. Rajini Sir would probably be present at the media meet to introduce our film to journalists. Since ‘Kochadaiyaan’ involves 3D Motion Capture, a new technique of storytelling, we will probably be showing some footage of our film to media persons in Rajiniji’s presence, like James Cameron had shown ‘Avatar’ before release. But, after that Deepika will be there to take the film forward to its release.”

It is learnt that, the actress is trying to figure out that how she will manage the time to promote this film.
