Shah Rukh Khan

At 42, we've heard that Shah Rukh Khan is all set to get younger. He wants to work with younger, fresher actresses now, rather than the top stars he has been working with earlier.

This is showing in the casting of many of his latest films like Om Shanti Om (Deepika Padukone), Chak De (a gang of young girls), etc. In Shankar's Robot too, his heroine is not going to be Aishwarya Rai, as reported.

A source says, "It is certainly not going to be Aishwarya Rai as reported in the media. Shah Rukh is looking for an actress who can do a lot of action as the script demands it. The film's actress will definitely somebody younger and more energetic to suit the role."

Shah Rukh Khan's Robot is ready to roll even before the release of his film Om Shanti Om. To be produced by Shah Rukh's production house Red Chillies Entertainment, the preproduction of the film has already begun.

SRK has already hired the best technicians for his film. The film will be directed by Indian cinema's highest paid director, Shankar. AR Rahman will compose Robot's music while Saboo Cyril is the film's Art Director.

SRK is currently on the verge of finalising the film's lead actress.

Robot is also speculated to be one of the costliest films to be made in Indian cinema. So excited is SRK about the project that he has put all his other projects on hold. He will start shooting for the film after Om Shanti Om releases.
The film will also boast of never-seen-before special effects in Indian Cinema as Shah Rukh now has the best in-house special effects team.

"SRK has the best special effects team in the country and Robot is going to be a sci-fi film. The team will make sure that the film's special effects are world class and better than what one saw in Krrish and Dhoom 2," says an industry source.
