With the shoot for Rajinikanth’s ‘Kuselan’ completed, the film is expected to be released in the last week of July.

Director K. Balachander’s Kavithalaya, along with Seven Arts, is producing the film, the Tamil remake of Malayalam hit ‘Katha Parayumpol.’

Rajinikanth plays a super hero. The shooting started at Ramoji Rao Film City, Hyderabad, which is considered a lucky venue: it was here the mega-budget film ‘Sivaji’ was shot.

The story revolves around the friendship between a village barber and his friend, who is a mega star. The star comes to the village to shoot for his film, and what happens there is the rest of the story.

In ‘Katha Parayumpol,’ Mammootty and Sreenivasan played the lead roles.

Rajinikanth plays the role of the superstar, while Pasupathy acts as a barber.

Meena plays the wife of the barber, while Nayanthara pairs with Rajinikanth. Actor Prabhu, too, plays an important role. The camera is handled by Aravind Krishna and the music is scored by G.V. Prakash Kumar.

According to Mr. Vasu, shooting for both Tamil and Telugu versions of the film is over. “We have shot for nearly 81 days, and I must give credit to my cameraman Aravind Krishna for his speedy work. We want to release the audio on June 30 and the film in July.

In a song, ‘Cinema Cinema,’ we are highlighting the hard work done by those in the film fraternity.”

It was written by lyricist Valee and sung by Shankar Mahadevan. ‘MGR Sivaji Sir NTR Rajkumaru Evargal Eruntha Cinema, Inimel Idhupol Varuma,’ the song goes on. To mark the 75 years of Tamil cinema, I wanted to do some thing, and I think I have done it, in my small way, through this song.”
