The Superstar's daughter is so impressed with Billa, which skyrocketed Rajini's fame, that she is planning a sequel to the film and is currently trying to rope in the crew of Billa 2007 for Billa‘BILLA is a magical movie with a wonderful script,' says Soundarya Rajinikanth, who recently announced her decision to make a sequel to the movie. Speaking exclusively to the Expresso, the MD of Ocher Studios announced that it was the movie's script that led her to plan a sequel. It must be remembered, it was Billa that skyrocketed Rajini's fame in 1980.
"I have discussed the plan to do a sequel with my father. He is aware of it and said he was happy," she says, adding that the movie has nothing to do with him than being a sequel to his yesteryear hit.
Billa turned to be an equally important movie for Ajith as well, who scaled new heights after its release. He is currently in Cannes, along with director Vishnuvard han, where the movie will be shown on May 18 at the film festival.
Billa 2007 featured Namitha and Nayantara along with Ajith. Though the crew for Billa II has not been finalised, Soundarya says efforts are on to retain the original Billa team for the sequel as well. "It makes sense to have the same team that did Billa as it will lend a semblance of continuity to the movie.
But only Ajith has agreed and been finalised till now," she explains. Ocher Studios will produce the movie, in association with Warner Bros.
Meanwhile, Soundarya is busy with Ocher Studios' first movie Sultan The Warrior, a full-length animated feature film that will also have an animated version of Rajinikanth in the lead role. "The movie is getting completed at a quick pace and we're looking at finishing it by the year-end, in order to be able to release it by April 14, 2009. Work for Billa II will not begin before June 2009," she added. Ajith is also working on Aegan, directed by Raju Sundaram.
