Shunning aside rumours

Director K S Ravikumar cleared the air recently.

“We have been getting some disturbing feedback about Rana being cancelled. This, we would like to ascertain, is totally false. It is natural for people to fall ill and as our leading star is now not so well, we feel unpleasant about these rumours about the film being dropped,” said Ravikumar.

“Rana is superstar Rajni sir’s dream project and his brain child. Hence, he is very keen on undertaking it and completing it successfully. His ill health might have caused a minor glitch initially in our shooting plans but Rajni sir is all positive about recovering and getting back into action. Moreover, we have Deepika Padukone’s dates only from post July.

Every news cast that you might have witnessed in any media, confirming that the project is dropped is, we are sorry to state, completely false. The shoot is just postponed temporarily awaiting his complete and total recovery. Subsequently he is now on his way towards a speedy recovery and we are now hopeful of releasing Rana the following year (2012),” he added.
