Shankar’s regular screenplay writer Sujatha has written this script, as one of his short stories titled En Iniya Iyandhira, is the inspiration for Robot.
The story is reportedly based on a sci-fi film called THX 1138, which was written and directed by George Lucas in 1971. THX 1138 is set in a futuristic scenario where robots suppress the human race and control their emotions. THX 1138 is the name of a factory worker who falls in love with his roommate and breaks the law. He gets jailed, but when he discovers that his roommate is pregnant with his child, they escape and fight back the robots. The script also had references to George Orwell’s literary classic 1984. Robot is also speculated to be one of the costliest films to be made in Indian cinema. So excited is SRK about the project that he has put all his other projects on hold. He will start shooting for the film after Om Shanti Om releases.
The film will also boast of never-seen-before special effects in Indian Cinema as Shah Rukh now has the best in-house special effects team.
