It took about two years to film “Endhiran” and it was shot at various locations, including Chennai, Goa, Pune and Mumbai. The romantic film also took the cast and crew to international destinations like Brazil, the United States and Peru where Ash and Rajinikanth shot a number in front of the historic site Machu Picchu.

South Indian ‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth portrays both Dr. Vaseegaran and Chitti - he even takes on a third role! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays a woman named Sana, while Danny Denzongpa portrays Bohra. Other actors include Karunas, Santhanam and Kalabhavan Mani.

“Endhiran, the Robot” tells the story of Dr. Vaseegaran, a scientist who specializes in robotics. In true Frankenstein fashion, Dr. Vaseegaran creates a robot that looks like a human. He names the robot Chitti and introduces it to other humans, which obviously leads to some very funny situations!

Before Rajinikanth was considered for the role of Vaseegaran and Chitti, Kamal Haasan, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan had all been in negotiations to star in the movie. It is rumored that SRK called the script "half-baked" and "dull" and decided to withdraw from the film. In 2008 Rajinikanth was confirmed. Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone were also in talks to play Sana, but soon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan told Indian news channels that she had signed up for the project.

“Endhiran, the Robot” will come out in two different dubbed versions; “Robot” in Hindi and “Robo” in Telugu. Costing over $1 billion, the film is said to be one of the most expensive Asian movie ever made so hopefully fans will enjoy the movie when it hits theaters on September 24.
