All the doubts whether Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger will be a part ofEnthiran 2, better known as, Robot 2, have been put to rest. Director Shankar has successfully brought the Terminator star on-board. But what's worth noticing is that Arnold has been reportedly signed for a whopping US$15 million remuneration, that is around 100 crores, for 30 days of shoot!
It is also said that if the makers exceed the 30 days of shoot, they would have pay a huge amount per extra day to Arnold. The paperwork and legal formalities are underway for bringing the Hollywood superstar to India.
Enthiran 2 is the sequel to Rajinikanth starrer 2010 Tamil science fiction blockbuster, which was dubbed Robot in Hindi. We help you with some more dope about the big project. Read on.
1. Arnold Schwarzenegger will play the main villain in the film.
Arnold has been signed on for the antagonist's role. We hear the director is confident that the huge investment will be recovered and that Arnold's presence will add to the film's reach in the international markets. Can we expect a combat between our Terminator and Robot? *fingers crossed*
2. Arnold wants the script to be re-written to suit his demands.
The Hollywood star doesn't have any qualms when it comes to the basic idea ofEnthiran 2. But insiders say he is not entirely happy with the original screenplay and has demanded to tighten it up with Hollywood screenwriters, which will help the film impress global audiences.
3. Rajinikanth will fly to Los Angeles to meet Arnold.
The two mega stars will meet in United States by November end, for an important meeting and test their looks for the film. Once they sign the deal, an official confirmation will be made from the producers about all the aspects of the film. Can we wait any longer? We can't!
4. Hugh Jackman was also considered to play the villain initially.
The makers were reportedly debating between Arnold and Wolverine star Hugh Jackman. While Jackman is very popular in India, mainly big cities, Rajinikanth is loved across the board. Hence, the producers wanted someone who would cater to the masses too. Thus, they zeroed down on Arnold despie Hugh Jackman's fee being much less. We still wonder if it is a win or a loss.

Be prepared to welcome Arnold in India early next year. He will be on an extensive schedule after undertaking a trail shoot for the film in Los Angles.
6. Enthiran 2 will be a visual effects treat for the fans.

8. Amitabh Bachchan will also make an appearance in the film.
If you though Arnold and Rajinikanth were enough to make things big, then hold your breath. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has also been roped in to play a pivotal role. Amitabh and Rajini have shared screen space in several films. They were last seen together in 1985 film Geraftaar.
