No hurdles for RANA

 

The Superstar may be taking rest in hospital. But there is no stopping for K S Ravikumar, the director of ‘Rana’, for the filmmaker is busy zeroing in on locations and finalising the remaining members of the cast and crew.

“The project is very much on track. Our plan is to start the regular shooting only in July. So Rajini’s hospitalisation has not stopped the shaping up of Rana in any way,” Ravikumar says. The director, who had earlier worked with the Superstar for ‘Muthu’ and ‘Padaiyappa’, adds: “I was recently in Thailand to select locations. I will be soon leaving for London for the same purpose.”

Meanwhile, sources say that the Superstar is taking complete rest at a suit in the seventh floor of the hospital, with his family members being with him. “He wants to spend his time by watching comedy channels,” they add.
