Robot: South answer to Hollywood

When West is moving with their creative and costly ideas like Jurassic Park, Terminator and Avatar; East is still reviving on its old formula based flicks. If this is your conception, then Shankar is all set to prove that its your misconception. Yes, ‘Robot’ (Tamil – Endhiran, Hindi – The Robot) is regarded as India's costliest movie till date which will rewrite Indian cinema history.

Having a look at remuneration of stars, Rajnikanths price is still a mystery while Aishwarya Rai is Bollywood’s highest paid actress even today because she has reportedly been paid Rs. 6 crores for the South and North versions of ‘Robot.’

Touted as India’s answer to James Cameron's Avatar, this science-fiction entertainer has used Animatronics Technology which has been used only in few Hollywood films. If a pumping total of nearly Rs. 30 crores is estimated for star remunerations in the movie, then alone production cost is estimated to be atleast Rs. 120 crores. 

‘We realise that we have made the costliest Indian film ever but when it is Rajnikanth and Aishwarya, what else can we do,’ says Shankar. Let us wait for few more days to see this expense on screen. Surely our South has given a fitting reply to Hollywood and ‘Robot’ is to increase the standards of film making in East. Wait for the new records on Indian cinema.
