Year 2015 is closing on a high note for Bollywood super
star Akshay Kumar aka Khiladi, as the action hero is going to share the screen
space with super star Rajinikanth in his upcoming film Robot 2.
Earlier, the reports were there that the
director Shankar was casting Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger for the role
of antagonist, but the action-comedy star cleared the air by sharing the
announcement on micro-blogging site Twitter. Akki wrote, “Ending the year on a
high note! Super excited to be a part of Robot 2 with the one & only @superstarrajini
sir.”
Moreover, the film is the sequel to 2010 super
hit film Enthiran (or Robot) where Rajini played the double role; one as hero (Dr
Vaseegaran) and the other as villain (Robot Chitti). This is the first time
when the two super stars Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar are pairing up in a mega
budget movie.
Bollywood Actress Amy Jackson, who shared the
silver screen with Akshay in Prabhu Deva’s ‘Singh Is Bliing’, will play the
female lead. The shooting of the bilingual film, (in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu), kick-started
with a song on the lead pair Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson and it’s going to hit
the screens early next year.
