“Yes, he will be performing his own stunts for the period drama Rana”, said director KS Ravi Kumar. The Superstar, who is currently recuperating at Singapore’s Mount Elizabeth Hospital, is keen on doing the stunts on his own rather than using a body double thus ending rumours that action sequences will be altered or done completely by a body double.
“Rajinikanth, who fell ill during the first schedule of Rana is keenly monitoring the progress of Rana”, said Ravi Kumar. In the meantime speculations regarding Rana’s script alteration are also brushed aside by Ravi Kumar by suggesting that Rana’s script is completely untouched and it would remain as Rajini wrote it.
The director is also not in a rush to start filming Rana. He wants Thalaivar to take all the rest he needs, before coming to sets completely fit. The shooting which is stopped temporarily will resume in September as opposed to June end, said Ravi. Right now for the maker the superstar’s health is paramount.
Rana with an estimated budget of over Rs 150 crores will see Rajini essaying three different roles.
