The shooting for Superstar Rajnikanth's next film 'Rana' will begin after State Assembly elections, director K S Ravikumar said today.

Speaking to reporters in Chennai, Ravikumar said, "Rana has story by the Superstar himself and it is based ion a historical event that occurred in 17th century. It features him in triple role".

To be made at a cost of Rs 100 crore, 'Rana' will feature Deepika Padukone in the female lead, while talks are on to accommodate Vidya Balan in the movie, he said.

Ravikumar, who had worked with Rajnikanth in films like 'Muthu, Padayapa' before, said, "We are planning to shoot a major portion of the movie in England. The locations have been finalised".

Queried there would be punchlines that one would normally associate with Rajnikanth's films, Ravikumar said, 'Of course yes. There can be no Rajnikanth movie without catchy punch dialogues,. There are many in Rana too".

Also present on the occasion was Soundarya, daughter of Rajnikanth and co-producer of 'Rana'.
