Endhiran Rajini and Aishwarya rai Duet Songs

Director Shankar's magnum opus, Endhiran, formerly called Robot, has been in the news ever since its announcement. The unit has flown to the Americas for the first schedule of shooting.

Pulling out all stops to make this a great movie, Aishwarya Rai has been taken as the heroine for a remuneration of Rs. 6 crores! For this breathtaking sum, (a figure which even most South Indian heroes are yet to achieve) the green-eyed beauty's call-sheet has been commandeered for almost a year, 200 days to be precise. She has been so busy with this project that her absence at the music launch of Drona, starring hubby Abhishek Bachchan, was conspicuous.

In fact, she has not even been able to spend time with her ailing father as the cast and crew of Endhiran was busy hoping from South America to North America on a whirlwind shooting schedule. A couple of important scenes plus two mind-blowing songs were shot among the picturesque beauty of the grand old Mayan ruins at Machu Pichu.

Endhiran also has the proud distinction of getting Rajini to gain 5 kgs for his role as a lovestruck robot. This truly epic production has 25 assistant directors, including Soundarya Rajini.

Just recently, the stills of Rajini and Aishwarya rai cavorting among the ruins of Machu Pichu, have surfaced on the web.

Rajini signs his next after ‘Endhiran’

Kuselan, inspite of being appreciated by a certain section of media and movie going public, couldn't garner the profits one usually associates with Superstar Rajinikanth's movie.

Perhaps Pyramid Saimira would be the only producer in recent times to have not made profits out a Rajinikanth starrer. Taking this into consideration, the actor is said to have promised the production company yet another movie. A credible Kollywood source reveals that a contract might also have been signed to this effect. Usually in such cases it's a verbal agreement between the concerned parties.

The earlier plan was to have the project started by January and release it even before Robot. But now the production house has settled for the idea of starting the movie after the completion of Robot. Director or the rest of the crew is yet to be decided. One of the frontrunners among directors would be Murugadoss, who has been in news recently over Rajinikanth supposedly making a guest role in his next movie. The director however issued a statement rejecting the news.

Meanwhile, there are whispers around the tinsel town that Rajini might do a full fledged movie for daughter Soundarya's production house Ocher Studios after the 3D animated movie Sultan. But it is yet to be known when this project might kick off, if at all it does. Team Behindwoods will keep you posted.

Ashwarya rai gets 6 crores?

The Kollywood grapevine says that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been paid Rs. 6 crores for her role in Endhiran. If that is true, she becomes India's highest paid actress.

But it is to be noted that Aishwarya Rai agreed to work in Endhiran out of the respect she has for Rajni. Forced by busy schedules to turn down a role opposite Rajni thrice before, Aishwarya deemed it would be unrespectable and inappropriate to deny the stalwart's offer anymore. That is the main reason she signed Endhiran even after her call sheet overflowed with dates allocated to Mani Ratnam's bilingual. Thus it is of little surprise that the producers of Endhiran, Ayngaran International and Eros International, are willing to pay the actress such a hefty price. Happy with Aishwarya's commitment, director Shankar even decided to give her a break when Mani Ratnam's film shoot starts.

At present, a song is being filmed on Aishwarya Rai and Rajinikanth for Endhiran in Machu Picchu, an ancient temple site erected by Inca Indians in Peru. It is also said that this song will be a highlight of this film.

Meanwhile, the public's curiosity is stoked up by the promos of Endhiran. Most of the walls in the city are covered byposters depicting a robot modelled after the superstar. Everyone is thrilled to see this metallic version of their beloved star.
