The film tentatively titled ‘Thalaivan Irukkiran’ is going to have another big name and it is none other than Katrina Kaif, who has almost accepted the offer. But, the problem with the actress is dates as she has already accepted Rajini’s ‘Kochadaiyaan’ and this Kamal film is learnt to be in the making at the same time of Rajini’s.

If everything falls in line then this film would be the most expensive film with the involvement of biggest names of Indian and Asian cinema. Kamal and producer Ravichandran has planned to do this as a multilingual film – Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, and if things work out the makers will do the Hindi version also simultaneously.
