Rajini to be chief guest at Kantri audio release

South Indian Super Star Rajinikanth is most likely to grace the audio release function of NTR-starrer ‘Kantri’ slated for March 16. The film features Hansika and Tanisha in the female leads, with Meher Ramesh wielding the megaphone and C Aswinidutt is producing the movie on the prestigious banner of Vyjayanti Movies. Manisharma reportedly gave electrifying tunes to all the songs.

It is presumed that Rajanikanth is attending the function as Aswinidutt’s next production features the Super Star as hero. It is worth mentioning here that the latest audio release function of Pawan Kalyan’s flick ‘Jalsaa’ was celebrated on a grand scale at Taramati Baradari with many prominent film personalities attending to it. In order to attract the attention of the entire film industry and also the audiences in general, Aswinidutt also planned to celebrate the audio release of ‘Kantri’ on a gala scale.

Aishwarya Rai as Villan in Robot

Many of us have always been curious why it took such a long time (since Jeans) for Aishwarya to be a Shankar heroine. Ash now reveals that of all the songs sequences she has been in, Athisayam from Jeans is one of her favorites. No other song, she said, was so aesthetically shot. Since then she had been eager to do another Shankar film, and was only waiting for a script that would give her a great role. And in Robot she has found the script and role she had been waiting for.There is some news bytes flying around Tollywood that her role in Robot could be a one with strong negative shades – is it perhaps that of a bad Robot? But so what, she apparently countered when asked, because Shankar will turn even a villain's role into something extraordinary. Insiders say that her character in Robot could be equal to that of Rajini's character. Sources also say that the fight master for The Matrix, Yuen-Wo-Ping will be choreographing some special fight sequences for her.
