It is known that except the cast and crew of unit none of them were allowed at location of the shoot and the team members of Rana got issued Access Card to enter the shooting location on the VIII floor of the Studios. Probably for the first time in the history of Indian cinema, the Access cards are being issued to the cast and crew for the shooting.

Rajinikanth is unhappy with Deepika Padukone

Superstar Rajinikanth is not happy with the look of Deepika Padukone in his upcoming film Rana. Rajini, who is very particular about every aspect of this film, is keen on all the details. Hence, the look designed for Deepika had to be changed as the superstar is not at all impressed with it.

Rana is a very different film that spans three different time periods. Rajinikanth plays a multi-generational triple role and Deepika Padukone is paired opposite him in his youth. Rajini has now asked the make-up team to go back to the drawing board and devise a new look, sending the entire schedule into a tizzy. Only after Rajnikanth okays Deepika’s look, will the shoot commence.

Rajinikanth has reportedly told director K S Ravikumar that he felt Deepika needed to look simple, yet traditionally beautiful, and that wasn’t coming across in the current look.

As per director KS Ravi Kumar, except Deepika Padukone no other heroine is finalized. This is third film for KS Ravi Kumar with Rajinikanth to be made with a budget of Rs.100 crores. Three of these heroines will star besides Rajini and remaining four will be cameo appearances and other important roles in this period film. Shooting will likely begin in mid April or May in London. "No, we haven't spoken to Rekha and neither did she refuse to be part of the film. We didn't talk to Asin either. I spoke to Vidya Balan but not yet decided about casting her in this film. Still there is a big list to zero upon," said Ravi Kumar about 'Rana', which would have script provided by Rajini himself.

Rajinikanth Fans Angry On Heroine

The legacy of Rajinikanth needs no explanation and the devotion of his fans towards him also doesn’t require any introduction. So, it is natural that they would be up in arms if someone says or does something against their demigod. Right now, Rajini fans are breathing fire on an aged heroine for the same reason.

She is none other than Rekha and recently, it is heard that Rekha has turned down an offer to pair up with Rajini due to remuneration issues. This has not gone well with Rajini fans and it is heard that they are discussing on coming up with protests and actions to convey how they feel to Rekha.

Arivazhagan, one of the fan club secretary who hails from Madurai said “It is a shame that Rekha has defied our Thailaivar (leader). Being a Tamilian, how can she speak like that? She has made enough money in her career and even now she wants money, very sad. Our fans will come up with few initiatives to make her realize her folly”. Wonder what Rajinikanth will say to this…

Big B to do cameo in Rajinikanth's 'Rana'

Amitabh will be seen in a few scenes in the second half of the film. But other details about his character have been kept under wraps. In Rana, Rajnikant does triple roles.

Rajnikanth and Amitabh have been good friends for long time and in the past they have done Bollywood films like Andha Kanoon and Giraftar. The last time the two legends shared the screen space was in Mukul Anand's Hum in 1991.

Hot Aunty Rejects Rajinikanth's Film

The common law throughout the Indian cinema is that no one says NO to superstar Rajinikanth. Instead, many wait to say YES to be part of a Rajini project. However, one person has now broken that law and she is the eternal diva Rekha. All this is happening for Rajini’s magnum opus Rana.

Our sources in Bollywood reveal that Rekha has walked out of the trilingual project since she has few issues on the remuneration aspect with the makers. Now, the makers are looking at ‘Dream Girl’ Hema Malini to fill in the shoes of Rekha and already Deepika Padukone has been confirmed as one of the three leading ladies. It is heard that Rekha has demanded a whopping Rs 4 crores.

For now, Rekha was not available for comment and the official spokesperson of Eros has stated that a formal announcement would be done once the casting has been finalized. The film is being produced by Ocher Studios and it is directed by K S Ravi Kumar.

Vidya Having Trouble With KSR!!!

Lately, the sensuous beauty Vidya Balan has been focusing her attention towards the southern cine circuit. Already, she is seen in a special role in the Malayalam movie Urumi. Now, it is heard that she was confirmed for superstar Rajinikanth’s movie ‘Rana’ but latest report is that she has backed out of the project.

Apparently, a Bollywood source revealed that Vidya has asked for the full script of the film before signing and director K S Ravi Kumar was reportedly not happy with that. However, when asked about it, KSR said that Vidya was not in their list since they had few changes in the script.

Rana is scheduled to hit the floors in April but the leading ladies are the problem. However, the makers maintain that the problem is with the finalizing of the script. Ravi from his end reportedly claimed that once the script is ready, they might go back to Vidya once again. Let us see what happens…

Madhuri Dixit Refuses Rajini

This season, everyone in Bollywood fell prey to the charms of the 44-year-old Madhuri Dixit who flew in from the US to judge a dance reality show on television. Besides the Khans, Kapoors and Kumars who poured praises in Mads’ honour, the other man who was reportedly enamoured with her is Rajinikanth! Madhuri and Rajni have done Uttar Dakshin in 1987.

Media announced just a few days ago that the Superstar was in Mumbai for a night when he did attempt to meet a few Bollywood stars.

A distributor says, “Besides casting Deepika Padukone and Sonu Sood from Mumbai, Rajini Sir was also keen to have Madhuri Dixit in Raana. However, she turned down the offer. She excused herself saying that she was missing her sons Arin and Raayan too much and wanted to fly back to the United States.”

Raana, as everyone knows, has Rajini in a triple role. Madhuri, naturally, would have been cast opposite one of the older characters that Rajini is playing; whereas the 25-year-old Deepika will romance the younger character.
