Mumbai, October 01: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s adrenaline levels must have peaked remarkably, considering that ‘Endhiran’/ ‘Robot’ illumines cinemas on October 1, 2010.
In Chennai, a show as early as 5a.m (!!) had Rajinikanth supporters thronging theatres much before 4 a.m and sporting Tee shirts with his ‘Robot’ image on it. Assorted TV channels flashed images of crazy fans going bonkers outside cinemas, even as the Ash Rajni starrer geared up for bouquets and barbs.
“There have been several attempts in the past to cast Rajini Sir and me together,” states Ash in a channel byte. “But matters just didn’t fall into place. And I’m so glad that it all came together in a film like this one. Shankar’s film has kept the common mind in mind and ‘Robot’ will definitely change the stereotypical image that one has of a robot. And the technical aspects of the film have been a learning experience in itself.”
As regards pairing up with the South super icon, Ash states, “Rajini Sir’s truly a superstar. Despite his stature, there’s still a very childlike quality about him when he’s facing the camera. There’s this fire in him to give his best for every shot. His dedication and sincerity is truly inspiring, and yet he’s so humble. And no, I haven’t picked up any of his famous signature styles.”
