The film's lead character will be voiced by Soundarya's father Rajinikanth, whose character is designed based on his likeness, while Vijayalakshmi and Prakash Raj will also render voices for pivotal characters.[2] The film will be jointly distributed by Adlabs and Soundarya's Ocher Picture Productions. The film was previously titled as Sultan the Warrior and was renamed to Dheera in August 2011.

Development

During mid-2007, an animated film featuring Rajinikanth as the animated character was under discussion. Several media claimed that the actor would star in animated television advertisements about HIV and AIDs in India. Later that year it was reported that his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth would direct her maiden venture with her father in the lead, also stating that it would be an animated film. She rose to fame after working in the 2004 film Anbe Aaruyire as the film's graphic designer. When the Rajinikanth-starrer Sivaji made its theatrical release, a trailer of Sultan the Warrior also made its debut. An animated Rajinikanth was shown, dressed in medieval attire, also stating that it would be released in 2008, though it would take much longer as Soundarya later became busy with her first production Goa (2010).Besides animated part, the film will also include a small portion of feature film (for about 30 minutes) that will be shot on Rajinikanth and others.

In late 2007, Soundarya Rajinikanth had travelled to Brazil for working on the animation of the film. The next year, it was reported that her home production company, Ocher Studios, had joined hands with Warner Bros. India, thus, Warner Bros. would distribute Sultan the Warrior, once it was released.[3] Animation of the film is to be done by a Chennai-based animation studio, along with international specialists. The soundtrack for the film is being composed by two-time Academy Award-winner A. R. Rahman.

As of August 2011, the film's title changed to Dheera.[4]

Soundtrack

The original score and songs for the film is being composed by A. R. Rahman. Rahman started working on the project in mid-2008 and finished recording two songs by September.[5] Since the work delayed, he had to complete the work a couple of years later only. The soundtrack will feature five songs,[6] including one sung by Srinivas[7] and a holi song.
