Arnold Schwarzeneggar offered to act in Shankar's direction during the audio launch of Vikram starrer 'I'. But, The main hurdle for casting a Hollywood star in an Indian film is the huge remuneration one has to pay in return.
As per highly placed sources, Shankar approached Arnold Schwarzeneggar for pivotal role (antoganist) in 'Rob0o 2'. The 'Terminator' Star agreed to allot 32 days call sheet and also demanded a whooping Rs 100 crore pay package. Whereas, Shankar wants 50 days call sheet of Arnold and he will be soon visiting US to hold further talk to convince him. Does that mean LYCA International which is producing the project is willing to pay the huge remuneration demanded by the Hollywood Actor?
Already, Budget of 'Robo 2' is anywhere around Rs 250 crore. Arnold's inclusion only makes it a Rs 350 crore project. But, That's not going to be a big issue as the film could collect 2-3 times more than the investment if a Hollywood star like Arnold who is popular across the World is part of the venture.
An official announcement about 'Robo 2' is expected on December 12th on the eve of Rajinikanth's Birthday.
