Endhiran is directed by Shankar. The film has been made in Hindi called Robot and Tamil and Telugu called Endhiran. The film has received enormous success overseas with the film grossing Rs. 20 crores in the United States of America, Rs. 8 crores in the United Kingdom (Including Europe), Rs. 7 crores in the Middle East, Rs. 21 crores in South East Asia (including Malaysia and Singapore) and Rs. 5 crores in the rest of the world.
This film has been released by Ayngaran International, which is a 51% subsidiary of Eros International and is the pioneer in Tamil film distribution in theatrical and home video formats in the international market.
Ayngaran International CEO K Karunamoorthy commented, “We are pleased to announce the exceptional response to the Tamil and Telegu versions of the film-Endhiran, not just in India but across the world. The magnificent trio – Rajnikanth, Shankar and A.R. Rehman have hit the jackpot once again. We were very confident about the film breaking all box office records. The combined distribution strength of Ayngaran International and Eros International has enabled us to integrate the Tamil film industry by producing and releasing films very successfully on the global platform.”
Eros International Media Managing director Sunil Lulla said, “It gives me immense pride to announce the exceptional response received for the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film-Endhiran, which has been distributed through our own subsidiary Company, Ayngaran International. We are elated with the box office collections of the film across the globe and wish to contribute the success to the very talented team of Endhiran. We believe the extensive distribution power of Ayngaran International and Eros International has given us a competitive advantage and we will continue to strive to create greater success stories in the future.”
The most expensive film ever made in India has been released.
Tamil star Rajinikanth's latest film Endhiran (The Robot) has been made with a budget of 1.6bn rupees ($35m; £23m), according to the film's makers.
Fans queued for tickets overnight in the southern city of Madras (Chennai) ahead of Friday's release. Analysts expect box-office records to be broken.
The 60-year-old actor has a huge fan following. Opposite him in the film is Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai.
A science-fiction fantasy thriller, Endhiran is being screened in nearly 2,000 cinemas worldwide. The film has also been released in Hindi and Telugu.
Rajinikanth's fans celebrated the release by lighting firecrackers and beating drums. In Madras, his larger than life-size posters were washed with gallons of milk, a sign of purity.
Huge expectations were generated for the film over the past few years - its makers claimed that its technical effects would challenge Hollywood films like Terminator and Godzilla.
Those who have seen the film say its technology and graphics are far superior to other Indian films.
Rajinikanth has made more than 100 films and is Tamil cinema's biggest superstar. His movies are a hit not just in India but in other parts of the world which have large Tamil populations.
His films are generally a colourful spectacle with song-and-dance routines and death-defying stunts.
Critics, however, say the actor is a bad role model - in some of his past movies he was shown stylishly lighting cigarettes and activists say this promotes smoking among his fans, who include many children.
A former bus conductor, Rajinikanth started his film career as a villain. Today, at 60 he is called the "ageless superstar" and has a cult-like following.
His critics say it could be time for him to retire. The Robot visibly shows his age in spite of heavy make-up.
But, going by the reaction of his fans, it seems Rajinikanth has nothing to fear.
