No language barriers, no age bar….. That’s the magic, power of Rajinikant for one and all. And there’s no doubt he’s being considered as “the” Super star.

Come October first, and the icon will be welcomed with hearty support which will be poured in by his fans from all over the world. In a way, Shankar’s ‘Robot’ is patiently waiting to hit the screens.

While our B-town’s legend Amitabh Bachchan had faced discomforts during the shooting of ‘Paa’, even Rajini had his own share of experiences with ‘Robot’. Talking about the behind-the-scene stories, one can get to know that the veteran star had undergone tough situations. Rajini said to have spent nearly 17 hours in a bathtub for a sequence, where he (as a robot) is being assembled by his maker on a table.

Being a well-committed person, he had surprised director Shankar by not going with the idea of using body double and gave is consent immediately for lying within the confined space. According to sources, Rajini had been provided with vitamin supplements every two hours, lest he felt weak without food and water.

"Rajnikant is a thorough professional and dedicated, even though the scene was physically taxing," remarked Shankar to sources on recalling the incident.

Phew!
