Director Shankar always brings with him many surprises in his movies. He introduced choreographer Raju Sundaram as comedian in his Jeans. He surprised everyone casting popular Tollywood actor Suman as baddie in his ‘Sivaji’.

Now going a step further, he has zeroed in on Telugu hero J D Chakravarthy as the villain for his magnum opus ‘Robot’. The movie to be produced by Ayngaran International features Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles.

Chakravarthy had acted in several Telugu movies and had worked with Ramgopal Verma.
