Robot-2.0-release

NEW DELHI: India's big resources films have a lot of "overseas" in them – foreign locales, foreign technological personnel, foreign visual effects (VFX) technology.

Rajinikanth 'Robot 2.0', sequel to the blockbuster 'Robot,' is a big-budget film with a differentiation — it is shot entirely in India, all technical heads are Indians as is most of the VFX technology used in the movie.


Slated to be the most high-priced Indian film ever made and poised for an October release in seven languages (including Japanese and Korean and Mandarin), the Tamil superstar's Rs 350 crore film will be a truly Make in India themed movie, it is makers told ET.

Make in India is one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's key policy initiatives that seek to encourage manufacturing in India. BJP insiders who spoke off record said the PM had had a word with Rajinikanth’s a few months back when work on Robot had just begun and had recommended that the much-anticipated film can encourage the Make in India theme.


Raju Mahalingam, COO, Lyca Productions, makers of 'Robot 2.0,' told ET the film has been entirely shot in Delhi and Chennai. "As a group, we are UK-based. But we decided to shoot everything in India this time. This movie will be India's 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', the internationally acclaimed Chinese movie," he said.
