Superstar Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone starrer Kochadaiyaan will be a special film for the Japanese, as the duo will be visiting the country prior to the release of the film.

The movie is scheduled to release on a historical date: 12.12.12 - December 12, 2012, that coincides with Rajini's birthday.

The buzz is that the premiere of Kochadaiyaan will be held in major parts of the world including London, UK and Japan. Adding to that, the superstar wanted to visit Japan after the Tsunami earthquake, but that was not possible, as he fell ill.

Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone along with other cast and crew will be going to Tokyo in December. Now that the doctors who are treating Rajini have said that he is fit and can travel, the makers of the film are planning his trip.

Kochadaiyaan is being dubbed in Japanese, but the superstar is not dubbing the voice for his character. However, he is learning the language and he will be speaking in Japanese during his visit in order to connect with his fans.
