Rajnikanth, Amy Jackson in Enthiran 2 (Robot 2)

Amy Jackson has just signed the biggest film of her career so far. The actress has been cast opposite Tamil superstar Rajnikanth in the sequel to his 2010 blockbuster ‘Enthiran’ which featured Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead.

Award-winning filmmaker Shankar, who directed the first film, will also be directing the sequel.

Enthiran 2, which is expected to be titled Robot 2 in Hindi, will go on floors in the first half of 2016. The film will have never-before-seen VFX and also have plenty of action for the audience.

After two back-to-back debacles in the form of ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ and ‘Lingaa’, Rajnikanth is currently shooting for ‘Kabali’ which is tentatively scheduled to release during the same weekend as Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan.

Rajnikanth will complete the final shooting schedule of Kabali this year and immediately move on to Enthiran 2.

British model turned Indian actress Amy, who was recently seen in ‘Singh Is Bling’, has played the lead in 3 Tamil films so far – including Shankar’s last film ‘I’. She made her Hindi debut in the film ‘Ekk Deewana Tha’ opposite Prateik Babbar, back in 2012.

There are reports that Enthiran 2 will also be shot in 3D. The tentative release date is year 2017.

  • Rajnikanth is a legend. His name itself helps many films.
    His cameo in a film can make a 50 crore film like Raone into 120 crore film.
    And a tribute to him to him can make a 120 crore film like Chennai Express into a 227 crore film.

  • Wow finally the cast is finalised.BTW Nobody cares who the heroine is in a Thalaiva movie.I am really excited for this flick.It would challenge every existing BO record just like its prequel did.
    And Indicine stop calling Lingaa a debacle it is still the highest grossing movie of 2014 worldwide

    Rajni Sir’s charisma and stardom is beyond any numbers.It has to be seen to be believed.No actor in Bollywood can even come close to Rajni Sir not even Srk or Salman.You can check the theatre response of some of his movie.It’s just pure love and devotion

  • Robot 2 will be huge, Shankar is the best director of his generation. With movies like Aparichit,Nayak,Sivaji,enthiran and I, he knows how to deal with mass appealing subject which also appeal to classes.
    Have watched only one movie of Amy so far, that was ‘I’ and she was very good in that movie. I was a very good movie though the kind of goodwill Shankar has, it falls short than that, just like PK for Raju hirani.
    Best of luck Rajni sir to back in his forte. It will be cinematic experience.

  • Personally I feel that Robot was a pathetic movie so no excitement for Robot 2.
    The only south movie which I am waiting for is Bahubali The Conclusion. Fingers crossed!!

  • @ishan gulati
    nyc one
    sir rajni is fit to play a father or in rare case even a grandfather to amy
    age difference b/w them is 40 yrs

    jokes apart
    i’m luking forward to it
    but its not becoz of rajni but becoz of one of the country’s biggest director shankar
    shankar and rajkumar hirani are the biggest director in current times

    to me shankar is little ahead because of his versatility
    a brilliant thriller aparichit (his best work)
    a social drama shivaji (not gr8 though)
    a land mark in film history robot (biggest sci fi in indian film history)
    I (again not gr8 but better than other masala craps)
    3 idiots remake(ironically , its raju’s movie)

    though all raju movies come way before any shankar’s movie
    but shankar has the courage to take risk and try different generes
    i just want raju to try different genres like thriller , romance , crime drama etc

  • Wow i am really happy after reading this news . Robot is one of the Best VFX movies made in India . The 2nd Best after Baahubali . When it was released in 2010 it was the costliest movie made in India . This movie was super entertaining . The climax scene when Chitti uses the other robots and creates different formations is epic . I have seen this movie many times on TV and it never bores me . Now this can be the movie which will take Indian Cinema forward . Shankar is a genius and his collaboration with Rajni Sir has been Outstanding . I would love to see this movie in 3D . After Baahubali the Benchmark of VFX in India has increased by leaps and bounds . Also in 2016 Baahubali : The Conclusion will release which will be one step ahead of the first one . So this will be a huge challenge for Shankar and the entire crew to outdo Baahubali . Whenever this movie will release in 2017 it will do monstrous business . So in the next 2 years there are 2 South movies which are keenly awaited by everyone – B2 and Robot 2 . Both the Directors are one of the Best in Indian Cinema – SS Rajamouli and S Shankar .
    Amy you are really lucky to be part of such a movie . You have a certified Blockbuster on cards . Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It’s definitely going to huge, but I would have preferred a more mature actress. Amy looks like a grand-daughter of Rajni. I don’t even think that a mega star like Rajni needs an actress opposite to him. She can play a major role, without being Rajni’s love interest. We saw the love angle in Robot, I don’t want Robot 2 to be similar to its predecessor.

  • @s.a.s, Amy has got only 2 big movies as leading lady. 1st was ‘I’ and 2nd is ‘Robot 2’, which is still under pre-production (Shankar is the director of both the movies). She’s not one of the best actresses in any industry, but she’s still better than some of the popular Indian actresses.

  • Wow , super excited to see The Phenomenon in Robot 2 and I too agree with the @ARK , it can challenge Baahubali’s Hindi collections (Baahubali 2nd part will most probably collect more than the 1st part , who knows even 150 crores as Rajamouli can do almost anything)

    @Truth hahaha yes buddy you told the truth :D

    @gabbar hahahaha were u just joking or were u really serious ????

    @challa . ya u r right, for the very 1st time I agree with u. :)

    @sky. Bro, I always rate Rajamouli higher than Shankar , though both are great talented directors but when it comes to visual movie making Rajamouli is a in a different league altogether , he is a sheer creative genius and the most striking thing about his direction is that ‘his next movie will always be better than his last one ‘ the same thing can’t be said about Shankar , in my opinion Rajamouli is India’s best film director followed by Raju hirani and Shankar.

  • Now i m waiting to baahubali 2 ,robot 2 and Akira . 3 no 1 directior of indian cinema. Ss rajamauli ,shanker and ar murugadoss.

  • @Gabbar aka Fake Akki fan id created by a LalluMan Khan fan.

    Akki fans respect Rajni Sir,He is Thalaiva..Not like stupid Lalluman khan fans.

  • Kamal luks and acts bettr than rajnikanth..
    Only gud thing abt rajni is his unique dialog delivry its kool
    rajni is a fluke..
    Kamal>rajni
