Most of the filmmakers dream big, but very few directors like Shankar and Rajamouli put their heart and soul to make larger than life films. Some times their films may fail, but their efforts will be remembered everlastingly. Likewise, Shankar’s last movie Manoharudu was a commercial failure, but he was raved for making the movie a visual grandeur, on par with Hollywood standards.
Meanwhile, Shankar is working to fine tune the script of Robo 2. Superstar Rajinikanth will play lead role in the sequel too and Amy Jackson is zeroed in for female lead. Hollywood action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger is almost confirmed for antagonist in the magnum opus.
Although Arnold is keen on working with Shankar, he is demanding Rs 100 crores as remuneration to sign Robo 2 (Enthiran 2). The price is big, but Shankar is insisting his producers to accept the deal as he feels no one can justify the role other than Arnold. If the producers agree to the deal, then they need to bear other expenses too of Arnold.
Robo 2 will be launched on Rajinikanth’s birthday falling on December 12th. The superstar is presently shooting for Kabali in Pa Ranjith’s direction. As soon he completes it, he will take a short break and start working on Robo 2.
