Of ‘Ra.One’ and ‘Robot’…

Did you know that Shah Rukh Khan’s prestigious venture ‘Ra.One’ and Rajinikanth-Aishwarya starrer ‘Robot’ are inter-related? Well let’s tell you how…

Our birdies reveal that initially the titled ‘Robot’ was registered with SRK’s banner Red Chillies. In fact the production company was supposed to have produced Shankar’s film; that was a time when Shah Rukh was meant to act in the film.

For both Shankar and SRK the film was quite ambitious project and they were seriously working over it together, until creative differences followed. Following it, both parted ways and Shankar went on to rope in Rajinikanth for his project while King Khan started to work on his own superhero project, now called as ‘Ra.One’.

At this time, Shankar felt that he needs the title ‘Robot’ for his project and he said to have written a request letter to Shah Rukh to give him the title. And surprisingly, without qualms Shah Rukh parted with the title….

Well, the industry has its own weird ways. While it’s know for tiffs and tussles on one side, on the other ‘give and take’ do happen as well….
