Just Months after
Sivaji The Boss set the cash registers ringing worldwide, Superstar
Rajnikanth is teaming up with the out-of-the-box director Shankar again.
If top industry sources are to be believed,
Shankar will work with Rajnikanth in Robot, which was planned to be
shot with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead and as producer. But the project
apparently did not work out owing to 'creative differences', with Shah
Rukh himself confirming the separation. Later, it was reported that
Shankar approached Aamir Khan for the role.
Though the film's thread is not confirmed, the
name 'Robot' and widely-speculated media reports suggest the story is
about a maverick scientist who creates a robot and later runs into
trouble with his pet creation.
