Rajinikanth’s Kathanayakudu Telugu Movie (Kuselan in Tamil)

Promotional activities for movies are getting bigger and more creative these days. As already announced, there would be live music shows in Chennai and Hyderabad by G. V. Prakash in a bid to popularize 'Kathanayakadu' music.

And now the latest buzz is that a 'Kathanayakadu' bus will travel on the roads of Chennai very soon. The bus would be painted with the movie's stills with stylish superstar Rajinikanth highlighted in a spectacular manner.Vasu, who was actually working on the script of ‘Chandramukhi 2’ before ‘Kuselan’ happened, unwinds between hectic schedules to talk about the film. “Yes, following the success of ‘Chandramukhi,’ I was scripting its sequel. Rajnikant had heard the outline of the story and given the green signal and in fact had asked Nayanthara to read the script.

When things were beginning to fall in place, Natarajan, an associate director of Malayalam films, suggested I watch the film ‘Katha Parayumpol,’ a runaway hit in Kerala. The film revolved around a barber’s fascination for film star Mammootty. The minute I saw it, I imagined our own superstar in a film like that. The climax made a deep impact on me. I’ve never come across such a story,” smiles Vasu.
So the next thing the ace director did was to call up Rajinikant and ask him to watch ‘Katha Parayumpol.’ “The superstar watched the film, but left without a comment. I was puzzled. But the call came the following day. He told me how much the film had impacted him and evinced interest in it. We met and discussed the nitty-gritty.

But having said yes to ‘Robot,’ he wondered how he would be able to juggle two films at a time. I assured him I would wrap up his portion real fast. After all it was tailor-made for him. Only some elements had to be thrown in to make the picture complete. Rajini agreed — mainly because the film had affected him so deeply.

According to Tollywood sources, the much awaited Rajinikanth starrer Kathanayakudu, directed by P. Vasu of Chandramukhi fame, is now scheduled to release on August 1. Earlier, it was slated to hit the screens in the first week of August.

The film’s Telugu rights have been taken by Aswini Dutt. The film stars Jagapathibabu as the friend of Rajini.

The music for the film has been composed by GV Prakash, nephew of AR Rahman. The audio is already released and making waves in the market.

However, the producers have not put out any reasons for the postponement of the release dates. Some insiders say that the reason for shifting the release date is because of non-availability of the required theatres
The very thought of a Real Film Star appearing as a Reel Film Star on screen is mighty thrilling. And when it is Super Star Rajnikanth it would be just perfect in wowing audiences…! This very thought brings the word 'Awesome' doesn't it?

'Kathanayakudu' is definitely going to rock with Rajinikanth' dashing looks and style as he plays a reel-life superstar.

Reportedly, Pyramid Saimira is going to release 'Kathanayakudu' with a starting 1200 prints
