'Robot' will be a sci-fi movie and stars the gorgeous Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the female lead, who has already reported for the photo-shoot schedule.
The film is directed by Shankar whose last offering with Rajnikant was Sivaji that broke all box-office records.

The extravaganza is being jointly produced by London-based Ayngaran International and Eros Entertainment, said a statement.
While Rajnikant's Kuselan has released to packed houses, he has almost completed his daughter Saundarya's 'Ocher Studios' Rs.2 billion (approximately $50 million) animated production which has live shots of the superstar.
