The Shankar-Rajnikanth Tamil film Robot is now EnthiraN. The film is said to be based on the popular writer, late Sujatha’s novels En Iniya Iyanthira and Jeeno.

The trio of Shankar-Rajnikanth and musician A R Rahman will once again join hands for this project.

Superstar Rajnikanth had earlier announced that the film, produced by London-based Aingaran Films International (P) Ltd., would get a Tamil title soon.

The title wasn’t intended to get tax-exemption but to honour the Government of Tamil Nadu’s commitment to patronise films with Tamil titles. Produced at a whopping budget of Rs 140 crore, the film is said to be the most expensive film to have been ever made in India in any language.

Three photo-shoots have been held to promote the film, including one that was shot in Hollywood last week. The shooting is expected to kick off in Brazil.

Aishwarya Rai-Bachan, is the heroine of this big budget film.

Robot has been Shankar’s dream project and the industry had been buzzing about it for some time, with talks of even the ‘Badshah of Bollywood’ Shah Rukh Khan coming forward to produce it under his banner, Red Chillies Entertainment, and also donning the lead role.
