In less than two weeks of its announcement, looks like superstar Rajnikanth’s next mammoth venture Robot could be renamed. Media insiders speculate that Robot might possibly be re-christened as Iyandira - its Tamil equivalent - in order to befit the Tamil Nadu government’s resolution to write off entertainment

tax for movies with Tamil titles. The makers of Robot are likely to make an announcement soon confirming or denying this.
A decade or so earlier, renowned writer Sujatha’s novel En Iniya Iyandira was a rage among sci-fi lovers when it was serialized in a weekly magazine. Later the small screen adaptation of the novel also managed to cause a stir when it was telecast on DD. With Sujatha being an indispensable member of the Shankar stable, there are possibilities of the director drawing inspiration from En Iniya Iyandira for Superstar’s next magnum opus, Robot.
Produced by Karunamoorthy under the Ayngaran banner, Robot’s (a.k.a Iyandira?) ground work has already begun, with the likelihood of this sci-fi Tamil epic hitting the floors right after Rajinikanth’s commitment to Kuselan is over.
