Vijay hopes 'Rajani Kantha' will get a U rating

Vijay���������s upcoming Rajani Kantha will not have a lot of action and gore as is usual in his films...
That actor Duniya Vijay will have a double role in his under-production flick Rajani Kantha is old news. But that one of his characters has a birth defect is not.
���������Director Pradeep Raj wanted to rope in another actor to play my older brother. But later, the team felt it would be a novel idea to have me playing both roles, Rajani and Kantha.One of my characters is born with a cleft palate. It���������s not easy to play such a role because people with this birth defect have speech difficulties. I have a friend with this condition, and stayed with him for 10 days to understand his mannerisms. He���������s been very cooperative and you���������ll notice how much of a help he���������s been because I feel I���������ve lent an authentic touch to my character,��������� says Vijay.
The actor adds that the director has been sensitive in handling such a subject. ���������We have ensured that we do not hurt the sentiments of people who have this defect. In the film, you���������ll see how people with the condition deal with the jibes that come their way and emerge stronger,��������� states the actor.
Vijay adds that Rajani Kantha is a complete family film and will not have the high-voltage drama or gore that has been the mainstay of his earlier films. ���������I hope that at least this movie gets a U certificate. My family hates it if my films are rated A,��������� laughs Vijay.
Title inspired by Rajnikanth
The title of the film was suggested by Vijay���������s friend, the late director Tushar Ranganath. ���������He knew that I am a huge fan of Rajini sir and said that we should name the film Rajani Kantha,��������� says Vijay, adding that apart from the title, the film has no connection whatsoever with the Superstar.
