Deepika Padukone who is also in the film doesn’t feature in the first trailer but will be seen in the second one. Padukone who plays a princess, Vadhana Devi, in the film is also going to be Rajini’s onscreen lady love. The soundtrack by AR Rahman will be released in October. Media reports claim that if all go according to plan than the film might release on 12 December, which is also the birthday of Rajinikanth. However, whether Rajinikanth’s virtual avatar will match the success of the real one remains to be seen.
