Kannada Super Star Upendra is amused by recent reports that have suggested that Superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Robot/Endhiran’ has been inspired by his decade old movie titled ‘Hollywood.’
‘I was surprised and saddened by those comparisons. How could they compare my film with Robot?’ laughing off the reports as baseless. Uppi also revealed, ‘Not many people know that before embarking on my Kannada movie ‘Hollywood,’ I had met Shankar to discuss my script with him. And that was because I had heard that he was intending to make a film based on Robots. Since my film too dealt with a similar concept, I don’t want our ideas to clash. Shankar told me that our movies were in no way connected and asked me to go ahead with ‘Hollywood’ and added that he would take a long time to go ahead with his movie.
Since Shankar had already announced it 10 years ago, it would be foolish to assume that he copied it from someone. Shankar is a genius; he doesn’t need to copy any ones concept.
Iam a huge fan of Rajini sir and Shankar. They made such an amazing story with an absorbing storyline and screenplay which is totally original,’ Upendra has put off all the rumors.
