Endhiran’s Robotic verses!

Although most of Endhiran’s lyrics are penned by the Shankar regular Vairamuthu, one song is being entrusted with the poet’s son. Now it looks like lyricist Na. Muthukumar will also be on the list as a last minute addition. If sources are to be believed, Muthukumar will write lyrical verses for Endhiran. These short verses will be used in the movie reportedly for the Robot character, also played by Rajini. Endhiran’s post production works are already underway and it is also learnt that Rajini is up and about with the dubbing works. Although no release date has been announced yet officially, it’s widely believed that the mammoth venture will hit the screens later next year.

Rajini to celebrate birthday in Pune

Rajinikanth’s birthday is less than a month away (December 12th) and the fans are already gearing up to celebrate it in a big way. With the Endhiran shooting progressing in Chennai for the last few days, it was expected that Rajini would be stationed in Chennai. However, the latest news from the Super Star’s camp is that the Endhiran team is moving to Pune to shoot a few scenes and Rajini would be celebrating his birthday on the sets.

Though this news had dampened the spirits of the Rajini fans, they nevertheless plan a huge birthday celebration for their star.

‘Endhiran’ creates traffic jam in Chennai

The whole team of Shankar’s ‘Endhiran’ was in Rajalakshmi College, Madhuravoil from 10th of November to 12th. A risky stunt sequence choreographed by stunt master Peter Haynes was shot on a magnificent set. A scene in which robot Rajini’s car being burnt was also shot inside the college campus. Director Shankar happened to see an over bridge that is under construction in Maduravoil ring road near Mugappair. That is the Chennai High Speed Circular Transportation Corridor, an urban road transit in the form of elevated concentric beltway planned for Chennai. This particular over bridge is being designed so well that it looks like some foreign location. So the director had planned to shoot the car chase of ‘Endhiran’ in this location. The shoot of the car chasing is being canned there from yesterday. We hear that many of Superstar’s fans who reside in nearby areas got to know about this and crowded the shooting spot. Looks like the crowd created a traffic jam in the bypass road causing difficulties. Moreover many fans tried to take pictures of Rajinikanth with the cameras in their cell phones. The private security guards who were there tried to stop it, but in vain. The shoot will go on there for few more days and the next schedule is planned in the beautiful East Coast Road.

Rajini’ car blown up

Finally, we’ve got more news about Endhiran! The team was spotted at the Rajalakshmi College in Maduravayal in Chennai shooting an important fight sequence. The fight has been choreographed by the famous stunt director Peter Hein. Art director Sabu Cyril has taken care of the sets for the film.

Two Ford cars were brought to the spot for this particular scene. While one was a real car driven by Rajinikanth in the film, the other was a dummy which was brought in to be blown up in a shoot out. This scene was shot to perfection by the film’s director Shankar today (November 11th, 2009).
