-'''''Rana''''' is a delayed [[List of historical drama films|historical]] [[action film]] co-written and directed by [[K. S.

-Despite the occurrence of [[principal photography]], which took place on 29 April 2011, casting includes Rajinikanth, Deepika Padukone among others. During the first schedule of filming, Rajinikanth fell ill on sets and was admitted to hospital for over a month, resulting in an indefinite postponement of filming. Further attempts for the film to continue production throughout the year failed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shooting dates of Raana to be announced in December|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_shooting-dates-of-raana-to-be-announced-in-december_1594308|accessdate=9 October 2011}}</ref>

-===Development===
-After the release of ''[[Enthiran]]'' (2010), Rajinikanth approached [[K. S. Ravikumar]] to help complete an animation feature that [[Soundarya Rajinikanth]] had begun in 2007. The project, titled ''Sultan: The Warrior'', had run into problems with its production and Rajinikanth hoped that they could salvage the project by adding a historical back plot which would make the film partially animation and partially live action. K. S. Ravikumar then developed a story for fifteen days with his team assistants and after being impressed by the script, Rajinikanth felt that Ravikumar's story should be an entirely separate film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/63044.html |title=Sultan to Hara to Rana - Tamil Movie News |publisher=IndiaGlitz |date= |accessdate=2011-01-29}}</ref> It was also reported that [[K. S. Ravikumar]] was signed up as co-director to direct "non-animated" scenes of the film, in which Rajinikanth would pair up with [[Trisha Krishnan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://telugu.16reels.com/news/Movie/2311_Rajinikanth%E2%80%99s-Sultan-changed-as-Rana-from-Hara.aspx |title=Rana &#124; Rajinikanth Sultan Hara Rana &#124; Rajinikanth Sultan changed to Rana &#124; Rajinikanth Trisha &#124; Rajini Rana Trisha &#124; Sultan the Warrior |publisher=Telugu.16reels.com |date=2011-01-23 |accessdate=2011-01-29}}</ref><ref name="indiaglitz1">{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/63255.html |title=Trisha opposite Rajini - Tamil Movie News |publisher=IndiaGlitz |date= |accessdate=2011-01-29}}</ref> The reports were later falsified as several websites on 28 January 2011, claimed that ''Rana'' was a separate project, jointly produced by [[Eros Labs|Eros International]] and Soundarya's Ocher Picture Productions.<ref>{{cite news|author=Bharti Dubey, TNN, 29 Jan 2011, 05.42pm IST |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-01-29/news-interviews/28378236_1_rajinikanth-film-muthu-and-padayappa |title=Rana, a triple delight for Rajini fans |work=The Times of India |date= 2011-01-29|accessdate=2011-01-30}}</ref>
-After several dates for principal photography to begin were reported, ranging between March and April 2011, it finally began on 29 April 2011 at [[AVM Productions|AVM Studios]] in [[Chennai]].<ref>[http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_shooting-starts-in-rajinikanth-s-first-period-film_1537597 "Shooting starts in Rajinikanth's first period film"]. ''[[Daily News and Analysis]]''. 29 April 2009</ref> However, in a turn of events, Rajinikanth became ill and was treated for dehydration and exhaustion at a hospital, after being diagnosed with a mild [[foodborne illness]], resulting in postponement of filming.<ref>[http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_rajinikanth-admitted-to-hospital_1537595 "Rajinikanth admitted to hospital"]. ''[[Daily News and Analysis]]''. 29 April 2009</ref> Following this, Rajinikanth [[Rajinikanth#Health scare and recent work (2011–present)|went through subsequent hospital visits]], after which he was eventually obliged to be admitted for treatment of an undisclosed form of [[nephropathy]], extensively delaying the commencement of ''Rana''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/international-newsthe-week/137480/on |title=International news of the week |publisher=Business-standard.com |date=4 June 2011 |accessdate=14 July 2011}}</ref> Following the delay, the team considered making ''Rana'' as an animation film but Rajinikanth was insistent that the film would be a live action film. Film producer [[Murali Manohar]] then suggested that the animation film could potentially be a sequel to ''Rana'' and thus the team began work on ''[[Kochadaiiyaan]]''.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}}
-===Casting===
-Several media reports subsequently emerged, stating that [[Bollywood]] actresses [[Rekha]] and [[Vidya Balan]] were slated to be part of the leading cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Rajinikanth-to-romance-Vidya-Balan/Article1-668903.aspx |title=Rajinikanth to romance Vidya Balan |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=2011-03-03 |accessdate=2011-09-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20110170629&keyword=bollywood&subcatg=MOVIESINDIA&nid=89081 |title=Vidya Balan To Romance Rajinikanth |publisher=Movies.ndtv.com |date= |accessdate=2011-09-17}}</ref> The following month, however, it was reported that Rekha walked out of the project during its pre-production stage after a dispute with the producers about her salary. Balan was also reported to have dropped out of the film after an untimely request to fully view the film's script was turned down. In the meantime, [[Amitabh Bachchan]] and [[Hema Malini]] were reported to have been signed up for important roles, marking the former's Tamil cinema debut.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Big-B-in-Rekha-out-of-Rajini-s-film/Article1-676662.aspx |title=Big B in, Rekha out of Rajini's film |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=2011-03-23 |accessdate=2011-09-17}}</ref> All reports, however, were finally downplayed by [[K. S. Ravikumar]], stating that no other actor had been signed up, other than Rajinikanth and Padukone, as of March 2011. [[Ganja Karuppu]] was signed up the following month as the film's comedian, after the possibility of [[Vadivelu]] was turned down due to his controversial participation during the [[Tamil Nadu legislative assembly election, 2011|2011 legislative assembly elections in Tamil Nadu]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Vadivelu targets Rajinikanth!|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/vadivelu-targets-rajinikanth-news-tamil-le3pAgbjcic.html|publisher=Sify|accessdate=29 April 2011}}</ref> But, on Rajini's insistence, Vadivelu was brought back into the film.<ref>http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-25/news-interviews/29702394_1_rajini-vadivelu-k-s-ravikumar</ref><ref>http://entertainment.oneindia.in/tamil/news/2011/rajinikanth-excuses-vadivelu-230611-aid0017.html</ref>
