After the phenomenal success of the Rajnikant starrer Sivaji, there was bound to be a huge demand for the film’s director Shankar. The latest is that Shah Rukh Khan has managed to sign the director for his next film. Shah Rukh Khan was highly impressed with Shankar's directorial skills, after watching Sivaji starring Rajnikanth in the lead role. As per sources this is a sci-fi flick (it is tentatively titled Robot) and this venture will commence as soon as the present assignments (Om Shanti Om) of Khan are concluded. There is likely that Shah Rukh Khan may produce this film.Interestingly, Shankar had considered Hrithik Roshan for the project. It is learnt that Hrithik has opted out because he would commence shooting for Krissh 2. As per sources "Robot" is a pet project of film director Shankar for several years. The ace director always wanted to make a sci-fi film which he said would be a dream come true. Initially (few years back) it was proposed to start the film with Kamal Haasan in the lead role but it did not take off due to various difficulties. |
