Rajini's flight (Cathy Pacific) landed at 1.30 a.m on May 17. Fans who noticed him when he was coming to get into his car after alighting from the aircraft, rushed in to greet him, but airport police stopped them. Rajini waved to them and sped off.

Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, who plays the role of a king and the antagonist in Kochadaiyan, has expressed happiness about the way his role has shaped up. He finished with his share of shooting for the film in London where he shot for some combat scenes with Rajini.

"It was interesting sharing screen space with the superstar after two decades. Last time he and I shot for a commercial Hindi film. This time the experience was surreal," he told reporters.

Shroff's debut film in Kollywood 'Aaranya Kaandam' won two national awards. His next is with Rajini's Kochadaiyan. Hinting that he wants to do more Tamil films, he said,"I am sure my third one will only be bigger."

He said he had the first - hand experience of the performance capturing technology that is being used in making Kochadaiyan for the first time in the country.

Actor Sarathkumar also shot his part in London.

Soundarya is said to be working frenetically to complete the shooting and get the film ready for Deepavali release.
