The latest Bollywood sci fi film comes with all the hype we’ve come to expect:
- 120 crore budget…biggest budget ever! (that’s about US$24 million)
- overseas special effects people!
- a world record is broken
The movie in question is called ENDHIRAN ( THE ROBOT) and it’s another Bollywood sci-fi fest. Shooting has even started already, with a musical number set in Peru going before the cameras first., an inert wannabe-sci-fi mess that just kind of lay there and gasped for air. This time we’re promised sheer, off-the-wall, wigged-out freakiness. Why? Because:
- the director is S. Shankar, . and action in the film. Ching Siu-tung was lured to Bollywood for KRRISH, the Hrithik-is-a-superhero flick, and now it’s Yuen’s turn.
- the movie stars Superstar Rajnikanth, Aishwarya Rai, long considered one of the world’s most beautiful women and a pretty fine actress to boot.
