Rajinikanth, during the special interview telecast by a private satellite channel on Diwali, revealed that Shankar approached him with three stories – Robot/Endhiran, Sivaji and another film which is based on mystery of India and is about a hunchback.
Shankar was keen on casting Rajini in Robot but the Superstar declined the offer thinking that he is being offered the villain role as there was a talk at that time that Shah Rukh Khan is being considered to play the lead role.
Rajini was also skeptical if would suit the scientist role and declined the offer. Then it was decided he would star in Sivaji as it was a mass film that Rajini is used to.
After working with Shankar in Sivaji, the Superstar was so confident about the director’s capabilities that he agreed to star in Robot/Endhiran. He also divulged that he took up the offer only because Shankar was wielding the megaphone.
So, do we get to see Shankar and Rajini joining hands for the third time as two of their ventures together have turned out to be blockbusters? Will the Superstar play the hunchback?
