“It is no surprise that Aishwarya is getting Rs.40 million. It’s still chicken feed compared with what Rajnikant carries home. He takes home Rs.150 million plus fifty percent of his film’s profits. But still he cannot make a film commercially viable outside the Tamil belt on his own.

“The dubbed Hindi version of ‘Chandramukhi’ came and went. And Rajni’s biggest hit ‘Shivaji - The Boss’ is in no hurry to be released in Hindi. With Ash in ‘Robot’ it looks like an attractive non-regional film,” said another source close to the project.
