Murali Manohar working on Kochadaiiyaan sequel

Recently released historical fiction-action film Kochadaiiyaan, which featured Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles, is all set to hit the screen again with its sequel. Kochadaiiyaan received mixed response at the box office. However, co-producer Murali Manohar assures that his team will work harder on the sequel.

"We did what we could, given restrictions of time and budget. I agree we could`ve done a lot better. We will work much harder on the sequel to Kochadaiiyaan," Manohar said. "The 3D motion-capture technique was new to the audience in India. While Tamil and Telugu audiences took to the new format of storytelling wholeheartedly, audiences in the Hindi belt neither understood nor did they want to go with the technique. So yes, the response in the north has been disappointing. We are already a big success in Tamil and Telugu. Recovery of investment in Hindi would take longer than we expected. But we`re confident of getting back our investments," he added.
