Shot using Photorealistic Peformance Capture technology, earlier used in Hollywood superhit "Avataar", the film is an "epic dramatisation" of good versus evil, producer Eros International Media Ltd said in a statement.
The film will be the superstar's first venture after his recovery from a reported kidney ailment and is directed by his daughter Soundarya Rajnikanth Ashwin.
The star cast includes Deepika Padukone, Shobana, R Sharath Kumar, Aadhi and many others. A R Rahman has scored the music.
"For the first time, a full length feature has been made using Peformance Capture technology in India and I truly hope this creates a whole alternate film avenue apart from live action films in our country," Soundarya said.
"We are releasing an English version internationally as well," Lulla added.
