Rajinikanth remuneration Rs.50 crores.

With strong currents of ‘robot’ striking the Indain Filmy shores, the best we can find out about ‘robot/Enthiran’ before its release is its budget and starcast. From the last couple of years, Bollywood has been obsessed with figures and headlines discussing about film production prices and exorbitant star remunerations.
Even though we have seen Indiam movie business getting into outrageous acquisitions like Raavan (Rs. 125 crore reportedly) and Kites (Rs. 120 crore), Production budgets have so far remained modest. Here comes mindboggling Rs. 180 crore, which is said to be the budget for the Rajinikanth-Aishwarya Rai’s ‘Enthiran/robot’.
Special figures from robot are here:

1.    Rajini’s remuneration Rs.45 to 50 crores (or a share in the profits coming to the same amount).
2.    Aishwarya Rai’s remuneration Rs.6 crores.
3.    robot has been shot on hitherto unseen locations that include the world heritage site Machu Picchu (Peru) besides Brazil.
4.    robot budget is more than double the most expensive movie India has made that is ‘Blue’ with Rs. 75 crores budget.

Let us wait for few more surprising news before ‘robot’ releases.

SUN Pictures: 'Robot' Telugu Rights still unsold.

There has been a good suspense going rounds in Film circles about the Telugu distribution rights of ‘robot’ from Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai. As per the news, it was known to many that Bellamkonda Suresh and Chadalawada Srinivas Rao tried their best out to bag the rights from SUN Pictures with each quoting
Rs. 23 and 27 crores respectively.

Sources of SUN Pictures has made a release in Telugu TV channels that ‘robot’ can’t be sold below Rs. 30 crores and none of the above said two distributors have acquired the rights. With in no time, Chadalawada Srinivas Rao appeared before media and has shown the Memo given by SUN Pictures on their letter head
which briefs that Rs.2 crores has been paid in the form of draft as initial payment by Chadalawada Srinivas Rao winning the distribution rights of ‘robot’ Telugu version.

But, till now there seems to be no response from SUN Pictures and Chadalawada is obviously a worried man.
