Endhiran formerly titled Robot is constantly made at a plan of something like 120 crores which is without a doubt the costliest Indian film ever! Controlled by Shankar, who last steered Rajni in the blockbuster Sivaji, Robot was initially offered to Shahrukh Khan who in the long run turned it down. Later there were bits of hearsay that the motion picture has been offered to Hrithik Roshan yet at last Shankar chose to make it in Tamil, changed the title and offered it to Rajnikant who glady acknowledged it.
