Shankar’s ‘Yanthram’ is shaping up in fantabulous style with the filmmaker crafting and etching every nuance of the piece of work to perfection.

Superstar Rajinikanth is the man and machine, with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the lead lady to be romanced by both these characters; AR Rahman has composed a spectacular signature tune for the film.

With directors busy in discussing the storyboard for the film, Shankar sticks to his habit of preparing a storyboard for the songs too! During the time, the crew including art director, cinematographer, music director and lyricist will sit in to discuss apt musical style, breathtaking sets, junior artists’ costumes to match the backdrop, props and so on…

‘Boom Boom’ in ‘Boys’, ‘Randaka’ in ‘Aparchithadu’ and ‘Vaaji’ in ‘Sivaji’ are some of his master piece signature songs in the past. Rahman has composed a similar song for ‘Yenthram’ sung by Madhushree, who crooned for ‘Vaaji’ which will be canned in grand sets erected at Hyderabad film city. Under the direction of art director Sabu Cyril, the magnificently grand prop has been custom-built.

More than a 1000 junior artistes clad in silver robot costumes will be featured in the number. Sounds quite grand, indeed! True Shankar style…
