What made Ash sign Robot?

Many of us have always been curious why it took such a long time (since Jeans) for Aishwarya to be a Shankar heroine. Ash now reveals that of all the songs sequences she has been in, Athisayam from Jeans is one of her favorites. No other song, she said, was so aesthetically shot. Since then she had been eager to do another Shankar film, and was only

waiting for a script that would give her a great role. And in Robot she has found the script and role she had been waiting for.

There is some news bytes flying around Kollywood that her role in Robot could be a one with strong negative shades – is it perhaps that of a bad Robot? But so what, she apparently countered when asked, because Shankar will turn even a villain's role into something extraordinary. Insiders say that her character in Robot could be equal to that of Rajini's character. Sources also say that the fight master for The Matrix, Yuen-Wo-Ping will be choreographing some special fight sequences for her.
