Soundarya had temporarily shelved her earlier animation project Sultan the Warrior with her father and started Kochadaiyaan. Rajni also has shelved his K S Ravikumar-directed Rana to work on this film.

It is reported that Kochadiayaan is on the lines of Avatar and The Adventures of Tintin and will use 3D animation style.
