There were reports in a section of the media that Superstar Rajinikanth would do a cameo in '3', the debut directorial vehicle of his elder daughter Aishwarya, which has his son-in-law Dhanush in the lead role.

However, circles close to the project have denied this, saying: "This is just a wild guess. There is no special appearance by the Superstar. But he is closely watching how the film is taking shape, since this is Aishwarya's dream venture."

On Thursday, it was confirmed by Dhanush's father Kasthuriraja that '3' would hit the screens on March 30 in three languages (Tamil, Telugu and Hindi). With Shruthi Haasan as the female lead, the movie has music by Anirudh.

"The success of 'Why this kolaveri di...' has generated huge expectations on 3 all over India. Hopefully the film should surpass the hype on it. We are planning for a grand pan-Indian release," Kasthuriraja said.
