Buzz: SRK to act in Shankar’s next film?

Robo – the pet project of film director Shankar has been dormant for several years. The ace director always wanted to make a sci-fi film which he said would be a dream come true. Initially it was proposed to start the film with Kamal Haasan in the lead role but it did not take off due to various difficulties. The project was then shelved for a while, when Shankar started working on the mega blockbuster Sivaji with Rajnikanth.

Now that the film Sivaji was declared to be a super hit and Shankar high on success, the news is making rounds that he has picked up the Robo script again and the talk was that actor Ajith would be taken in the lead role.

However, according to close NRI sources, the director has approached with the story of Robo to none other than Shah Rukh Khan when they met recently and if the sources are to be believed the Badshah of Bollywood was impressed with the storyline of Robo and had given Shankar the nod.
