Director Shankar’s magnum opus, Enthiran, formerly known as Robot, has been in the news ever since its announcement. The unit has flown to the Americas for the first schedule of shooting.
Pulling out all stops to make this a great movie, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been taken as the film’s heroine for a remuneration of Rs. 6 crores! For this breathtaking sum, (a figure which even most South Indian heroes are yet to achieve) the green-eyed beauty’s call-sheet has been commandeered for almost a year, 200 days to be precise. She has been so busy with this project that her absence at the music launch of Drona, starring hubby Abhishek Bachchan was conspicuous.
In fact, she has not even been to spend time with her ailing father as the cast and crew of Enthiram was busy hoping from South America to North America on a whirlwind shooting schedule. A couple of important scenes plus two mind-blowing songs were shot among the picturesque beauty of the grand old Mayan ruins in Machu Pichu.
Enthiram also has the proud distinction of getting Rajni to gain 5 kgs for his role as a lovestruck robot. This truly epic production has 25 assistant directors, including Soundarya Rajinikanth.
Just recently, the stills of Rajinikanth and Ash cavorting among the ruins of Machu Pichu surfaced on the web.
