Check out superstars Aishwarya Rai and Rajnikanth in their upcoming film Endhiran. Endhiran, initially titled Robot, stars superstar Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
With a budget of Rs 120 crore, Endhiran is said to be the costliest Indian film.
Endhiran is a science fiction film and is directed by S Shankar.
Shankar had previously worked with Rajinikanth in the superhit Sivaji: The Boss.
The music director for Endhiran is none other than Oscar-winner A.R Rahman.
The film is being produced by Kalanidhi Maran.
For the female lead Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Asin Thottumkal, Trisha Krishnan, Shriya Saran, Priyamani and Nayanthara were in contention.
Shankar initially chose Shah Rukh Khan for the lead role, but apparantly things didn't work out.
Ash managed to bag the role because she had worked with Shankar earlier in Jeans.
Chinese stunt coordinator Woo-ping Yuen has been hired to supervise the action stunts in the film.
The shooting locations include the historic Machu Picchu in Peru.
The original title Robot couldn't be retained because the Tamil Nadu government provides tax exemption to films with Tamil titles.
