Superstar Rajnikanth is all set to begin shooting for Sultan, the much-awaited, most expensive Indian animated film. And Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya is both directing and producing the film.
"First of all, a film like Sultan has never been done before because it's realistic 3D and what India has seen as of now is more 2D. It's all mythology-based and this is a fictitious film. It stars superstar Rajinikanth, so yeah, I think that's the edge," says Soundarya.
"Oh my father's looking forward to it too. It's the first time he's going to be directed by his daughter so he's very excited about it as well," she adds.
Soundarya is the head of Ocher studios which is co-producing Sultan along with Adlabs. And now Ocher studios has also tied up with Warner Bros for producing live action films.
"They're a great team, you know there's nothing more I can say about Warner Bros that people don't already know. We have tied up an exclusive agreement deal that we'll produce live action films for them. We're producing South Indian films to begin with, but soon we'll move on to the North Indian market as well. It's an exclusive agreement that we have happening," says she.
When asked if she ever wants to become an onscreen glamour queen, Soundarya says that she has done a guest appearance with her father in the yet to be released Kuselan, but that for the moment, she's happy playing the back screen boss.
"It may be too late for that because I've already stepped behind the camera. And Kuselan, well it's a wonderful movie and the song is called Cinema Cinema and it talks about how movies are made. The crew that participates in it from behind the camera and it's just a couple of shots, that's it," she explains.
If Rajnikanth is the undisputed superstar in front of the camera, his daughter wants to make her mark from behind the scenes.
