'Kochadaiiyaan' is a path-breaking 3D animation movie, whose title draws reference to an alternate name of Hindu deity Shiva, while also being partly inspired by the name of the Pandya Dynasty king Kochadaiyan Ranadhiran.
The plot of the movie is a fictional account that brings to life a time of kingdoms and royalty, war and peace, love and betrayal. With small references to Indian history, the crux of the story centers around a war between three Kings, that traverses through various generations.
