Shankar
makes
his
films
with
huge
budgets
and
most
of
his
movies
have
been
considered
as
the
highest
budget
flicks
of
its
time.
Be
it
his
Mudhalvan
or
Endhiran,
the
money-spent
on
the
productions
had
made
other
film
industries
to
turn
around
and
look
at
Tamil
film
industry
in
surprise.
His
latest
film
I
is
also
falling
into
the
same
category
as
it
is
set
to
become
a
biggest-ever
film
made
in
India.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
I
is
more
expensive
than
Shankar's
earlier
film
Endhiran,
a
sci-fi
flick
starring
Rajinikanth
and
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan.
In
an
interview
to
a
Delhi-based
daily,
Vikram
has
said
that
the
movie
is
made
with
the
budget
of
Rs
145
cr,
which
is
the
highest
ever
budget
movie
in
Indian
film
industry.
However,
doubts
are
being
raised
by
a
section
of
traders
on
the
budget,
as
I
is
neither
a
sci-fi
nor
a
graphical
extravaganza.
Adding
to
that
the
lead
stars
of
I
are
less
popular
than
of
Endhiran,
which
featured
Rajini
and
Aish.
The
expensive
part
of
the
movie
is
the
rich
visuals
captured
on
camera
in
some
of
the
popular
destinations
in
the
world.
An
industry
insider
claims
that
the
producer
would
find
it
very
difficult
to
recover
the
investment
if
the
said
budget
is
true.
Nonetheless,
some
of
the
well-known
technicians
from
Hollywood
are
working
in
the
project.
