The
latest
buzz
in
the
tinsel
town
is
that
Aishwarya
Bachchan
has
turned
down
Shankar's
Robot,
featuring
the
South
megastar,
Rajinikanth.
The
reason
being
given
is
that
Aishwarya,
who
is
doing
only
selective
projects,
wanted
a
remuneration
in
the
range
of
5
crore
plus,
which
was
denied.
However,
no
reliable
source
has
confirmed
or
contradicted
the
same.
As
may
be
recalled,
Shankar
whose
last
film
with
Rajinikanth,
Shivaji
–
The
Boss,
was
a
blockbuster
(both
in
South
as
well
as
Overseas),
had
first
offered
the
lead
role
to
Shahrukh
Khan.
The
project
did
not
take
off
with
SRK
due
to
creative
differences
regarding
the
script.
The
next
we
heard
was
that
Aamir
Khan
was
offered
Robot,
but
refused
it
and
Shankar
then
went
back
to
his
trusted
lieutenant,
Rajinikanth.
However,
Aamir
Khan
has
categorically
denied
that
he
was
ever
offered
the
100
crore
Robot!
The
actor
perfectionist
also
advised
that
people
should
concentrate
on
his
next
release,
the
Ghajini
remake,
instead
of
baseless
rumours.
That
should
clear
up
matters,
once
and
for
all.
Well,
we
cannot
say
about
others,
but
we
are
surely
excited
about
Aamir
Khan's
action
extravaganza,
the
Ghajini
remake!
