Rajnikanth off to Mumbai for Hindi ‘Robot’ Audio Song

Superstar Rajnikanth will be visiting Mumbai after 15 long years for the music release of his upcoming movie ‘Robot’. The Tamil film’s audio was launched in Kuala Lumpur a couple of weeks ago. Recently, the songs of the Telugu version, ‘The Robot’, too were launched at Hyderabad with superstars Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu releasing the album.
On August 14, Rajnikanth will be flying down to Mumbai along with AR Rahman and Shankar for musical release. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be present for the occasion.
Shankar had previously made his direct Hindi film ‘Nayak’ with Anil Kapoor and Rani Mukherji in lead roles.
Shahrukh Khan was supposed to produce and act in Shankar’s ‘Robot’ and the project was dropped on the spur of the moment, due to difference of opinions. The music release of ‘Robot’ will take place at Hotel Marriot and Rajnikanth is expected to meet Amitabh Bachchan tonight.
Rajnikanth plays the dual role of a scientist and a robot while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan performs the role of a college student Sana.

Endhiran songs Hit Record | Endhiran Songs Review

Three days after its grand launch in Malaysia, the music album of 'Endhiran' was on top of the charts of the iTunes Store for a brief while on Tuesday though it came down to second position later in the day.
This is the first time that music scored for a Tamil film featured in iTunes’ Store’s Top 10 World Albums. The music by Academy Award winner AR Rahman for the film featuring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan remained in the No. 2 slot both in the US and UK.
Though Rahman’s 'Slumdog Millionaire' still figures in iTunes’ Top 10 World Albu­ms in 16 of 22 countries listed on its website, 'Endhiran' has fascinated the world much ahead of the film’s release.
ThinkMusicIndia, which features exclusive content on the film’s audio launch, is also currently the most viewed TV channel in India, with nearly one lakh hits.
Keeping in mind the high demand, Think Music, which has audio rights for the film, has scaled up production of CDs for the film by nearly one lakh copies, compared to Rahman’s recent films.
“We manufactured 2.5 lakh CDs of 'Endhiran' to be sold across the world. Of this, about 1.75 lakh CDs are meant to be sold within the country alone,” said Priya Krishnan, head of marketing, Think Music.
'Endhiran', the first film to be produced directly by Sun Pictures – at a lavish budget of over Rs 110 crore, is slated for release in September.
