September 9, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): The Rajanikanth-Aiswarya Rai starrer 'Robot' directed by Shankar and produced by Kalanidhi Maran on the banner of Sun Pictures is getting final touches and is all set for release very soon. The Telugu version rights of the film were bagged by Thota Kanna Rao of West Godavari.

Speaking on the occasion, he says, 'I am very happy for bagging the opportunity to release the Telugu version of the highest budget film in India, 'Robot'. Especially, the film had a great combination of director Shankar, Oscar award winner AR Rahman, Tamil Super Star Rajanikanth and former Miss Universe Aiswarya Rai. Already the audio was proved a big hit and there are high expectations on the film too. I have recently seen a few songs and few scenes in the film which are quite extraordinary. The film was simultaneously made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages. I am sure that the film would create a sensation in the Indian film industry in particular and the world cinema in general.'

Dialogues are by Sriramakrishna, lyrics are by Bhuvanachandra, Suddala Ashok Teja and Vanamali, cinematography is by Ratnavelu, while story, screenplay and direction are by Shankar. According to sources in the film unit, the film is likely to hit the screens on September 24.
