The Endhiran is not tiring yet. With records being broken on a regular basis right from the date of its announcement, the latest news may not be surprise at all. Endhiran finds itself among the Best 50 feature films released in 2010 in the Internet movie database (www.imdb.com). The list is based on the number of user votes for the movie. Seven Indian films feature in the Top 50 with others follow suit.

The rating, which is lead by Hollywood blockbuster Inception, has Bollywood movies Udaan (6), Love Sex aur Dhoka (15), Peepli Live (17) and Ishqiya (22) while Endhiran occupies the 39th place. Farhan Akhtar-starrer Karthik calling Karthik and Hrithik-starrer Guzaarish are at numbers 48 and 41 respectively. Interestingly, Endhiran is the only Tamil movie in the Top 50.

ENTHIRAN-THE ROBOT COMPLETES 50 DAYS

"I WILL GO IF SHANKAR CALLS ME AGAIN" -RAJINI

Rajinikanth, during the special interview telecast by a private satellite channel on Diwali, revealed that Shankar approached him with three stories – Robot/Endhiran, Sivaji and another film which is based on mystery of India and is about a hunchback.

Shankar was keen on casting Rajini in Robot but the Superstar declined the offer thinking that he is being offered the villain role as there was a talk at that time that Shah Rukh Khan is being considered to play the lead role.

Rajini was also skeptical if would suit the scientist role and declined the offer. Then it was decided he would star in Sivaji as it was a mass film that Rajini is used to.

After working with Shankar in Sivaji, the Superstar was so confident about the director’s capabilities that he agreed to star in Robot/Endhiran. He also divulged that he took up the offer only because Shankar was wielding the megaphone.

So, do we get to see Shankar and Rajini joining hands for the third time as two of their ventures together have turned out to be blockbusters? Will the Superstar play the hunchback?

ENTHIRAN-THE ROBOT MAKING STILLS

ENTHIRAN RUNNING SUCCESSFULLY!

ENDHIRAN IN 3D

The success of Endhiran has reportedly prompted Sun Pictures to dub the film in English. Apparently, the producers want to make it a hit among the international audiences too. And in this effort, they have decided to add a few 3D effect scenes.

A 7-minute 3D effect scene was made for Endhiran but this was not included in the movie. Now, there are reports that the producers are contemplating on adding these sequences in the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions.

With Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai being popular international faces, Endhiran’s English version is sure to reach out to the audience.

RAJINI AND ASH’S COSTUMES ON AUCTION

The Rajinikanth-Aishwarya Rai starrer Endhiran has turned out be a mega grosser. The film has earned immense popularity worldwide with rave reviews. To cash in on this and to help the needy, the costumes worn by Rajini and Aishwarya in Endhiran will be auctioned, we are told.

The auction will happen through the most popular mode – online – so that fans from world over can bid for it. The designer wear worn by Rajini and Aishwarya in Kilimanjaro and O Baby song sequences will be auctioned, sources say. The proceeds from this auction will be donated to various charitable organizations.
