Robot belongs to SRK

http://dunedain-srk.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/2007-06-30.jpg
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.

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. ...

Shahid Kapoor: I'm waiting for someone special

Bollywood’s man with lightening in his feet, Shahid Kapoor seems pretty chilled out and unfazed by controversies in real life. In town to shoot for an untitled film opposite Anushka Sharma, Shahid seems very comfortable in his skin. While he’s reluctant to discuss about his private life or his rumoured amours with Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sania Mirza, the teen heartthrob says he’s “learnt to take all the rumours with a pinch of salt” and claims he’s just a “regular” young guy after pack-up. Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
