Rajini next movie Robot name changed

>> Monday 21 January, 2008

Director Shankar, who is set to make the biggest movie in Indian history, informed that the title of the mega project featuring the
superstar Rajinikanth would be changed in due course. He informed this while talking about the film in an interview given to a TV channel on the eve of Pongal festival.

The buzz is that the State Government’s decision to provide tax-exemption to movies titled in Tamil is the reason that this name change might come through. The Tamil film producers and directors are these days found with Tamil dictionary to choose Tamil titles for their films to avail this concession.

On a 100 crore budget, Robot movie will definitely need the entertainment tax-exemption. There was also a debate over the title of Shivaji, if it was a Tamil name or not. Even with the debate that Shivaji was a Marathi name, the State government accepted that Shivaji is a Tamil title indeed, and the movie was exempted from entertainment tax. This might not work out for Robot, or will they add Robot to Tamil
dictionary as well and provide entertainment tax exemption? Only time can tell!!

The film will be the richest movie in terms of special effects. The special effects will be the highlights of the science fiction movie, informed the director. According to him, the work for the special effects would require much time, almost equal to that of making a film.

The director said the shooting of the movie will be started after July; after Rajini’s Kuselan shooting is over.
