Did you know that Rajini had agreed to act in 'Robot' long ago? Did you know that the project has come a full circle?
Here is a small flashback to recall the incident:
It was 2002 and it was the function held to launch Shankar's 'Boys'. Rajini attended the function as the chief guest. Shankar has arranged a demo session to reveal the talents of the boys of the 'Boys'. Superstar enjoyed the event very much.
When Rajini came to the mike, he said that the news published in some magazines saying that Rajini and Shankar were coming together was true. 'It is true. The name of the film is 'Robot'. If I act in this movie directed by Shankar, it would run for 50 weeks. But it requires 50 crore rupees and two years to make', said Rajini in his speech.
The dream of Shankar and the desire of superstar have been realized after almost six years. The budget has been doubled and the expectations are manifold.
In the meantime, the film has been associated with too many big names including Kamal Haasan, Vikram, Ajith, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan. The movie has come a full circle with Rajini himself acting in the mega film.
