Can a tiger’s offspring be a cat? With this phrase in Tamil, Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin, the youngest daughter of legendary actor Rajinikanth, was introduced at the music launch of Kochadaiiyan in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Sunday.
Kochadaiiyan, India’s first performance capture film, is Soundarya’s directorial debut. And with it, she becomes the first woman in India to direct her father in a film.
Holding the stage amid several stars including her father, considered one of the biggest stars in the country and worshiped in south India, and Deepika Padukone, who plays the female lead in the film, Soundarya explained that the film was “an animated story and not a cartoon where images are created on the computer.”
“The actors have performed their roles and that was captured to create a digital film. This is neither a visual effects film nor a computer graphics mix,” she said.
During the making of the film, the actors did not wear any special costumes but wore body suits with a camera fitted to their head to capture their reactions.
“I had to imagine that I was riding a horse for a scene and portray the right emotions as the horse picked up speed and then slowed down. That’s where the challenge lay,” said Sarath Kumar, who plays a significant role in the film.
