For a brief while after the SRK-Shankar split, Robot seemed to be the most wanted script in India. Looking back, almost all the leading actors of the country have heard the script or have been considered for the lead. Names like Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan from Bollywood and Ajith from Kollywood were discussed in a matter of months. But in the end, none materialized. Now, it seemed that the Robot had knocked at every door possible. But, all factors had not come together to make it possible. Thinking back now, it seems like destiny. The journey started with Kamal Haasan and 10 years later, it came back to one of his best buddies – Superstar Rajinikanth. Yes, the biggest film had to be made with biggest star. Robot would finally get underway.
