With work on Rajinikanth's most anticipated film taking place in Trivandrum, the city is sure to get a boost due to the film. But co-producer of Kochadaiyaan, Dr Murali Manohar, reveals the real reason why the team chose to work in Trivandrum after canning most of the film at one of London's high-end studios. 

"Two of our actors could not get the required visa permits to make it to London. We also had to make room for scenes which couldn't be shot due to date issues of certain actors," he says, adding that the Trivandrum studio provided the world-class facilities required to finish the work. 

While the producer did not mention who the two actors in question were, sources contemplate that it could be actors Ramesh Babu and Raju Sundaram, who were present at the shoot in Trivandrum.  

With the filming nearly complete, the team is working towards a September release. "We are simultaneously working with the post-production aspects since January and have finished few sections of the film," he says. 

Kochadaiyaan will be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, each being a different version, and it will also be dubbed in English.
