Robot belongs to SRK

The actor has registered the title with the AMPTPP compelling the makers of the Rajnikanth film to rename it as Enthiram.

The title of the much hyped Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Robot has been changed to the Tamil Enthiram (also meaning robot).

Industry sources reveal that it’s because Shah Rukh Khan’s company Red Chillies has registered the title Robot and nine other titles with the word ‘robot’ in it with the Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) in Mumbai. These include titles like Robot, Mein Hoon Robot, Mera Robot, Pyara Robot, Robot a Hero, Robot Hoon Mein, Robot My Hero, Robotics and Robott. Incidentally, the film Robot was supposed to have King Khan playing the lead. However, talks between Shankar and SRK fell through.

“Shankar couldn’t have gone ahead with Robot as it is said that Shah Rukh has already registered all the names around it. So he had no other option but to change his film’s title,” confirms a source.

The fact that SRK’s company has registered nine similar titles is perhaps an indication that the star would be making a film using one of these titles in the near future.
The title Enthiram is based on the work of the late writer Sujatha’s novels En Iniya Iyanthira and Jeeno. The film, being directed by S Shankar (director of Sivaji: The Boss that also had Rajnikanth in the lead), has a mammoth budget of Rs 140 crore making it the most expensive film to be made in India.

It’s also believed that the Tamil title Enthiram may get the film a huge tax exemption by the Tamil Nadu government. “The government gives tax exemptions to films with Tamil titles. Shankar may have lost out on the title but he may be the man who will smile in the end,” says another source.

It was speculated that the film might be titled Yantram before the filmmakers zeroed in on Enthiram. The shooting of the film is expected to begin in Brazil today. The crew will then head towards Peru.

Vivek Oberoi: I am a Tamilian

  Vivek Oberoi:-  I am a Tamilian Vivek Oberoi has said he has great affinity for Tamil Nadu Movies and that he makes sure that he visits his grand-parents in Chennai regularly. Vivek Oberoi in an interview to Tamil media earlier had said ‘Naanum Thamizhkarandhan’ (means ‘ I am also a Tamilian ’). Vivek Oberoi earned the good will of Tamil Nadu people when he adopted a Tamil Nadu village devastated by the killer Tsunami in 2004. Vivek’s next two big films have a solid Tamil connection. The immediate ‘ Prince ’ is being dubbed and released in Tamil on April 9. The following ‘ Raktha Charithra ’ by Ram Gopal Varma in which Suriya is also playing an important role is a multi lingual and that too will be released as a direct Tamil version. The most highlighting factor about these films is that Vivek Oberoi will speak Tamil himself for the dubbing. When Suriya and Vikram are learning Hindi for their Bollywood debuts, Vivek Oberoi comes to Kollywood already knowing Tamil. For More

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc.

This film is directed by David Dhawan and John Abraham playes a cricketer who resides in the chawl. In a song John and Genelia D’Souza dance to a tapori-ish number with the typical tapori dance steps.
