Director Shankar’s mega movie ‘Robot’, starring Superstar Rajnikanth, has been renamed as ‘Enthiram’. However, Shankar has retained the original title as the sub-title. The movie, following the style of ‘Sivaji: The Boss’, has been rechristened as ‘Enthiram: the Robot’.
The film, which is arguably the first full fledged sci-fi film in Tamil, is said to be based on two novels written by late Sujatha.
Rajnikanth had earlier announced that the film, produced by London-based Aingaran Films International (P) Ltd., would get a Tamil title soon. The Tamil title was not intended to get the tax-exemption, but to honour the State Government’s commitment to patronize films with Tamil titles. ‘Eyanthira’ and ‘Eyanthiran’ were earlier considered and the final choice fell on the title ‘Enthiram – The Robot’.
Three photo-shoots have been held to promote the film, including one that was shot in Hollywood in U.S. last week. The shooting is expected to kick off in Brazil from September 6 onwards.
Shankar’s team is already in Brazil to oversee the arrangements made. Shankar, Rajnikanth and other actors and crew members are expected to leave for Brazil on 5th while Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan is expected to land in Brazil on 7th.
Produced at a whopping budget of Rs.140 crore, the film is said to be the most expensive film made in India in any language till date.
