Rajini's Robot - Shankar's 10 year dream comes true

[Venkat]

Well, looks like Shankar’s dream of 10 years is going to become a reality soon. Wondering what we are talking about. Well, apparently ‘Endhiran/Robot’ which has Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles was at the back of Shankar’s mind for almost 10 years.

He was planning to make the movie with Kamal Haasan and Preity Zinta at that time. Shankar had conceptualised the story of ‘robot’ way back in 2000 and kept postponing the making of the film.

Though Shankar had written the script and story for ‘Robot’ 10 years ago, he wasn't sure if he could pull off such a huge film at that time. After completing ‘Shivaji,’ he thought it was time to start work on his dream project. Surprisingly, he found the script still fresh and thought the audience would be able to relate to it even if it is released now. With a scientific background, movies like Terminator and Avatar ran successfully even in villages, Shankar was sure they would accept his ‘Robot’ as well.
