Exclusive! Ash, Rajni in Peru, Brazil for their ROBO movie

Everyone's looking forward to Rajnikanth's new film, ROBO (Enthiran-tamil) with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Directed by ace filmmaker Shankar, the film promises to entertain.

I bring you exclusive pictures of the film, during its shooting at the historical Inca civilisational site of Machu Picchu in Peru. The film was also shot in Brazil.

The film -- earlier titled Robot -- was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan. After he opted out, Shankar's favourite actor Rajnikanth stepped in.

But then the next question arose: Who would be Rajni's heroine in the film?

Shriya Saran, Rajni's Sivaji co-star, was considered for the role. But it eventually went to the gorgeous Ash. She got 6 crores for this project. This is her first film with Rajni, and her second with Shankar, after Jeans.

This movie revolves around a robot that turns out to be a monster. It's up to Rajnikant to destroy the monster and save everyone else.
