For once, the Superstar will follow the league of actors Dhanush, Suriya and Vishal. Surprised? This is in having a six pack trend young Kollywood actors are taking on to, seriously.

The Superstar, however, would not have sweated it out to develop his body. This will only be for his animated version for the film, ‘Sultan The Warrior’. The film is directed by daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth, apart from being produced by her.

The Superstar is said to be playing a warrior in the film, which is an action adventure. Despite being an animation film, the Superstar has himself enacted his part, which has been captured by a motion capture camera. Calling him a director’s delight, Soundarya Rajinikanth says the film will be over by end of this year.

The film has brought together the world’s best known technicians. The facial animation has been done by Image Matrix, which worked on Brad Pitt in his Academy Award-winning 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. The film’s budget is said to be a whopping $ 5 million. Calling it a typical punch film, Soundarya reels out one of her dialogues about dad in the film: “Adikkara Kaathula Parakkura Ilai Illa Da Sultan, Malai. Asaikka Mudiyaadhu.’

The film, which is said to be set in the Chola period, is 70 percent complete.
