Ever since the rumours about Rajini being in 'Robot' started, so many more rumours started floating in that one does not know what is true and what is not.
On checking with Shankar's office circle, 2 pieces of information came to light. Two thongs are of prominence in Shankar's films – one is music, the other is the cinematography.
It was already decided that AR Rehman would be the music composer. Fixing the cinematographer was the difficult part. Ravi K Chandran is busy shooting the film of Nandita Das. He is committed to Hindi films and that would take about a year to complete them. Manikantan is busy with a Shahrukh project and overseas shooting.
'Sivaji' K V Anand is busy directing a Surya film. It is said that finally Nirav Shah, who shot 'Billa' and 'Dhoom' is the final choice. He seems an ideal choice for 'Robot.'
The objective is also to rope in Amitabh somehow or other to act in 'Robot.' The unit shows extra care as the film is to be shot in Hindi also and the budget seems to be a mind boggling 100 crores.
In the coming days, we would most likely hear stories about the film that would be more interesting than the film story itself!
