Rajini announces new film, Robo

Chennai: After the mega-success of Sivaji, The Boss, superstar Rajinikanth is now all set for his next film tentatively titled, Robo.

Industry sources have confirmed to CNN-IBN that director Sankar and Rajinikanth have finalised their deal for Robo.

The movie is expected to take the southern superstar beyond the Vindhyas for it will be made in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu simultaneously.

Sivaji too is presently being dubbed in Hindi and sources say the success of Sivaji in the north Indian market has inspired plans for a simultaneous Hindi version for Robo.

Sources also say that Robo will be bigger and more expensive than Sivaji, which was made at a cost of close to Rs 80 crore and earned nearly Rs 100 crore.

For the moment though, the Tamil film world is all geared up for a grand celebration of Sivaji's success on January 11.

Sankar, who directed Sivaji, had initially approached Shah Rukh Khan, but the deal fell through.
