Meanwhile Shankar’s project Robot which he wrote
keeping Kamal in mind was said to be revamped with Bollywood
matinee idol Hrithik Roshan. Shankar is a known name
in Bollywood circles as he had directed the Hindi remake
of Mudalvan with Anil Kapoor in the lead. Now with Sivaji’s
triumph, there appears to be a shower of offers from
Bollywood and King Khan is said to have shown interest
in acting under Shankar’s direction. This is likely
to happen after Shah Rukh completes his present venture
Om Shanthi Om, remember that Shankar wanted the king
khan to act in his Nayak, but due to some prior commitments
he declined the offer and Anil kapoor got the role.
On the other hand there are varied speculations that
are doing its round regarding Super star’s next
project. Based on his talk during the audio launch of
Poi directed by his guru and mentor K Balachander, it
was thought that his next film may be for Kavithalaya
films. Sathyajyothi films and Vijaya Combines are also
said to have approached Rajnikanth. Meanwhile before
leaving for his overseas trip, Rajni had invited yesteryear
director Panju Arunachalam for a meeting. This has triggered
the hypothesis that super star may help a few producers
who had given him breaks during his earlier times which
may be something similar to Arunachalam where 6-7 producers
were involved in the film. However the actual picture
will emerge only after he returns from U.S. But as far
as Shankar or Rajnikanth is concerned until an announcement
comes directly from them, everything hangs in air.
