Filmmaker K S Ravikumar, who is the in-charge of story, screenplay and dialogue departments of superstar Rajinikanth's forthcoming film 'Kochadaiyaan', has said the project will hit the floors after Pongal.

'The script is completely ready and Rajini sir is happy about it. The shooting will start after 15th January and it will be wrapped up by the end of March. After that, I will be moving to do a Hindi movie,' he says.

Giving more details, Ravikumar adds: 'Yes, I am planning to do a Bollywood film after completing 'Kochadaiyaan' and before starting 'Rana' (again starring Rajinikanth). My Hindi film will have Sanjay Dutt in the lead.'

'Kochadaiyaan', to be directed by Rajini's younger daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth will have direction-supervised by Ravikumar. A R Rahman has been reportedly roped in as the music director, while heroines are said to be Anushka Shetty and Ileana D’Cruz.
