Rajini’s Kochadaiyaan sister gets married

Tags: Kochadaiyaan , Rajini
Rukmini Vijayakumar, who plays superstar
Rajinikanth’s younger sister in his upcoming
animation 3-D venture Kochadaiyaan , is said to
have married ‘secretly’ without troubling
anyone.
Rukmini, a talented bharatanatyam dancer and
a ballet danseuse, debuted as heroine in
Kollywood with ace director Bharathiraaja’s
Bommalattam in December, 2008. The film
wasn’t a success story at the box-office though
Rukmini’s performance was lauded by the
critics as well as movie-goers. She also played
a prominent role in Tamannah’s Ananda
Tandavam. After that, she didn’t get (m)any
film offers.
Busy with running her own dance school in
U.S., she was signed up by debutant director
Soundarya to play Rajini’s sister in
Kochadaiyaan. Though it’s an animation film,
Rukmini was nevertheless excited at getting to
rub shoulders with Rajini on-screen. Though
it’s a sister’s role, it’s almost like the second
heroine’s role in the film, informs Rukmini.
“I play a dancer in Kochadaiyaan and found
the experience of starring in an animation film
enthralling. We shot at Finewoods Studios in
London where many James Bond films have
been shot. During the shoot of a particular
sequence, I was asked to don costumes which
had close to 100 mini-cameras ‘hidden’ in
them. It was really an unforgettable experience
to shoot in those costumes.
“Though I worked only for an hour or two with
Rajini, I could feel the aura and realize why he
is hailed as a superstar,” said Rukmini. She also
added that she got married to Rohan Menon
recently. “I don’t want to discuss a lot about
my personal life,” she concluded.
