Rajinikanth. The name is enough to evoke cheers and applause from movie-lovers. What if Rajinikanth appears as himself on screen? The movie has been made in such a way that it would be a double delight for his fans who would cherish every moment of the movie.

Director P Vasu knows the strengths of the 'Super Star' very well. He has worked with the actor on several occasions in the past and rendered many blockbusters. The duo had tasted success in ‘Panakaran’, ‘Mannan’, ‘Uzhaipalli’ and ‘Chandramukhi’ in the past.

Obviously expectations and hype soar when the two come together again. Producer Kavithalaya and Seven Stars Vijayakumar have managed to get Rajinikanth and Vasu together for their production venture titled ‘Kuselan’.

Vasu has chosen to remake ‘Katha Parayumbol’, a Malayalam movie by Sreenivasan, which went on to become a big hit in Kerala. The movie revolves around the tale of friendship shared between a popular actor and a poor barber.

‘Kuselan’ features Rajinikanth and Pasupathy in lead roles. Pasupathy plays a poor barber. Meena dons the role of his wife, while Nayantara plays herself in the movie.

Says P Vasu,” 'Kuselan’ is a movie to provide joy for everyone. It is a thorough entertainer with Rajinikanth at his best. The entire movie was completed in 82 days thanks to the co-operation of the whole unit”.

'The charm of Rajinikanth is captivating. He is growing younger day by day and looks dazzling on screen. He magical aura and strong screen presence are the movie's USP', he adds.

In simple words, the movie is about two childhood friends. One grows up to become a successful actor and other a barber who struggles to eke out his livelihood. What happens when they meet forms the crux, he adds.

Shot in Ramaoji Rao Film Studio, Pollachi, Udumalpet and exotic locales in Kerala, ‘Kuselan’ is a family entertainer, vouches Vasu.

The other major highlight of the film is G V Prakash's musical score. He has come up with five songs which are foot-tapping and pacy. A song celebrating the 75th year of Tamil cinema penned by Valee would make it big, opines Vasu.

Aravindh Krishna's cinematography helped us complete the shooting on time, Vasu says and adds, “He is a perfectionist and strives to capture everything in a perfect manner”.

The movie has a huge star cast which includes Vadivelu, Prabhu, Vijayakumar, Sneha among others. Interestingly both the audio rights and the movie's distribution rights have been sold at an astronomical prices adding on to the hype surrounding the film.
