Earlier there were reports that Tamil superstar Rajnikant and director Shankar’s magnum opus, Robot, has changed its title to Yantram. But they proved to be wrong. The title change is applicable to only Tamil, it seems. In Telugu, the movie is titled ROBO (in Telugu Letters) only. The film’s shooting has commenced today (Monday, September 08, 2008). Aiyangaran International and Eros International are jointly producing it in Telugu too.
Rajnikant and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are acting as romantic pair.
