aishwarya in for rajnikanth s movie robot

Finally, Bollywood stunner Aishwarya Rai has confirmed that she would be acting opposite Tamil superstar Rajnikant in Shankar’s film Robot .

For so many weeks and months, there has been speculation whether Ash will give her nod to Shankar for his next big budget film. She knows the director from the days when she first worked with him in the 1998 flick titled ‘Jeans’. And Shankar has not kept secret his desire to work with Ash in ‘Robot’.

Now, in a television interview, when Ash was told that Shankar has confirmed her presence in the film, she sounded excited and said she was looking forward to the project.

“They (Rajnikant and Shankar) are super entertainers, independently and together…Recently he (Shankar) approached me and gave me the narration and I was like, ‘you know, we could work this out, I’m still working on my dates’. But if Shankar has confirmed, then it’s cool. We will be on board,” Ash said in an interview to CNN-IBN.

Speaking about her co-star, the sensational Rajnikant, Aishwarya said: “He is super-fascinating and intriguing to his audience. You can’t but just be fascinated by this phenomenon called Rajni sir. His audiences totally love him. And he is such a wonderful human being…I am glad and privileged to be working with him.”

Reportedly, Aishwarya has been offered a price that is allegedly the highest ever price paid to an actress in a Rajnikant film.

However, Ash denied this and said it (the acting fee) is not as much as speculated.
