Raana - Rajini's next film

Rajini's next venture is Raana!
This news comes as a delight to Rajini's fans. The director of this new venture is K.S. Ravikumar. The duo has already teamed up in Muthu and Padayappa which turned out to be super hits.
Production: Eros entertainment and Haras pictures ( which is a partnership firm of Soundarya's Ocher studios)
Photography: Rathnavel
Music: A.R.Rehman
Editing: Antony
Art : Rajeevan
Its noteworthy that the technical team of Enthiran has been fully retained for this film also. The heroine of this film is supposed to be Deepika Padugone but there are chances of replacing her with some other heroine. Anushka plays another female lead role. Rajini is said to portray three roles.
Although there were rumours that the film has a storyline similar to Avtar, the team has disclosed that this film will be a commercial entertainer.
 But the fact that the technical stuff of this film is handled by Icube, a company which has received the Emmy for special effects makes one wonder if the film is a science fiction based one?
Raana- which is a name of the Maharastrian royal clan suits aptly to Rajini who has Maharashtrian ancestry. But Rajini is cherished as a son of soil by all Tamils and his film is eagerly awaited.
