Close on the heels of completing 'Sivaji The Boss’, director Shankar was assigned to direct Shahrukh Khan for a mega –budget Hindi movie 'Robo'. The movie was supposed to star Shahrukh Khan and the latter even agreed to produce the movie.

The latest buzz is that the project has been dropped. Both Shankar and Shahrukh have mutually agreed to pull out of the project.

When queried the reason, Shahrukh said, "I was impressed with the storyline. I was supposed to act in Shankar's Hindi remake of 'Mudhalvan'. Hence I was keen on doing 'Robo'. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, 'Robo' has been shelved."

On his part, Shankar said, "I gave the English version of the 'Robo' script to Shahrukh. He liked it very much.  Though we decided to do the movie, we could not come to terms with few other things. Hence we decided to pull out of the project."
