MUMBAI: South Megastar Rajinikanth’s ‘Kochadaiyaan’ which stars Deepika Padukone in the leading role, will now also cast Jackie Shroff.

"I play the role of a King," Shroff quoted at an event.

The film slated to release in Tamil, Telugu, English, Hindi and Japanese this year, has been directed by Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya. 

"It was excellent working with him. He is superstar of India," added Shroff, who has earlier shared screen space with Rajinikanth in ‘Uttar Dakshin’.
