How to pronounce Kochadaiyaan

The new Rajinikanth film is being released and Rajinikanth films always make news. But this one is a difficult name and already the non Tamil channels have started mauling the name in various ways. 

The name comes from classical Tamil which means "the king with the long curly mane". Ironical because the real Rajinikanth is totally bald!

The name is pronounced as 

coach-a-die-yarn (using respelling)
koochaDaiyaan (using the pronunciation key)
कोच्चडअयान (in Devanagari)
கோச்சடையான் (in Tamil)
