With its massive box-office collections, Robot is still making waves well into its third week. Shooting at exotic locations like Machu Picchu and with a budget of a hundred and fifty crores, Robot boasts of being one of the most expensive films churned out from India. With its colossal success the film makes its break in the evolution of filmmaking in India.
The film revolves around Dr. Vaseegaran played by Rajinikanth who invents a High-end robot named Chitti, a mirror of his own image. The scientific body, AIRD, declines the approval of the robot stating that it does not have emotions and the ability to make rational judgment. An unexpected flash of lightning induces emotions in the robot, and Chitti is geared up for its integration into the human world. Chitti then falls in love with Dr. Vaseegaran' fiancee Sana played by Aishwarya Rai and goes against his creator.
In this second part series Bollywood Hungama delves in deeper with the visual effects behind the film to unveil the magnetism behind Rajinikanth in Robot.
Amalgamating Rajinikanth and the robot Chitti
Srinivas points out that although Rajinikanth was acting, the audiences perceived that he was a robot indeed. The fictional script was designed by the director with this notion in mind. In Hollywood, filmmakers shoot one scene where they insert a part of a droid and the rest of the film is based on the plot. But in India it's a different situation all together, so in order to sell the idea to the audiences, the director decided to portray the story parts with all the details in tow.
