Starring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai, Endhiran – The Robot is truly a perfect science fiction film brought out by maestro director Shankar. The film is said to have been made with the highest budget among all films made so far on Indian soil.
-
The director could not have a better star-cast than that of south Indian super star Rajinikanth and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles.
-
Rajinikanth has a double role in this film. One is a scientist Vaseegaran and the other is a Robot called Chitti.
The scientist Rajinikanth creates an android man with artificial intelligence –like that of sixth sense in humans – which looks exactly like him and behaves too like a human to help mankind. But the robot later acquires more human characters. -
Through technical upgrades, the robot becomes almost human. It falls in love with Aishwarya Rai and writes romantic poems besides doing many other things.
-
Knowing about the extraordinary intelligence of the robot the villains, led by Danny Denzongpa, try to get control of the robot. Scientist Rajinikanth then fights to save the robot falling into the hands of the enemies and destroys the evil forces using the robot itself.
-
Legendary music director and Oscar Award winner A R Rahman scored music for the flick and the audio was officially released on July 31. All the songs have become very popular and the film is going to hit the screens in September.
-
This film was announced by Shankar soon after completing his blockbuster Sivaji - The Boss in 2007. Though he wanted to go ahead with the project, no producer had come forward keeping in view the expenditure and budget the film needs.
-
Yuen Woo Ping who designed action scenes for films like The Matrix, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Forbidden Kingdom is the stunt co-ordinator, along with Peter Haynes.
Stan Winston Studios which handled visual effects for films like Aliens, Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park worked on the animatronics of the film. -
It was the late author and script-writer Sujata who wrote a science fiction novel En Iniya Iyanthira, after getting inspired by Isaac Asimov's robot story Bicentennial Man published in 1975. However, the script was completed by Shankar and Balakumaran due to the sudden demise of Sujatha.
-
The film has a technical crew which worked for world class Hollywood films who made a mark in World Cinema.
