Shankar's new strategy for Endhiran

Shankar seems to be always brimming with ideas when it comes to promoting his ventures. While he swathed the Metropolitan double-decker buses in Chennai with vinyl posters for the blockbuster Sivaji, he seems to have a different plan altogether for Endhiran. If sources are to be believed, for

Endhiran, Shankar is planning to order life size Robot toys – inflated and other types.

Speaking about 'Endhiran', Rajinikanth said, 'it would be a movie to reckon with in Indian Cinema. It would bring Tamil filmdom greater laurels. A big-budget movie involving versatile technicians from abroad, 'Endhiran' is expected to be technically brilliant. Hopefully we can turn the attention of everyone towards us. I am sure the whole team needs to come out with great dedication and commitment'.

Shankar has been giving his heart out and the movie is being made with an enormous budget' he adds.

The actor said that he would be doing one more film besides 'Sultan - The Warrior' and 'Endhiran'. When queried, he said, ' I am ready to accept acting in films as long as I have the scope to perform challenging roles with substance'.

Rajinikanth's 'Endhiran' was shot recently in Goa. The cast and crew shot some important sequences in Goa featuring Rajinikanth, Cochin Haneefa and others. Buzz is that important sequences featuring Rajinikanth as robot were shot at Goa. Shankar, in order to maintain secrecy, shot the movie amidst tight security. Shankar was keen to prevent photographs of the shooting getting leaked to the media. Sources say Rajinikanth appeared for the shoot as robot, a look-alike of Rajinikanth. Seemingly inspired by Arnold Schwazeneger in 'Terminator', Shankar has reportedly created the role. Plans are on to commence the next schedule of the 'Endhiran' in abroad after Deepavali.
