The former Mr. Universe Arnold Schwarzenegger has been brought on to the board for Shankar's next mammoth project “Enthiran 2” with Superstar Rajinikanth. This idea was initially surfaced in the media during the audio launch of the director's previous movie 'I', where Arnold attend the event, last year in Chennai.
Almost all the Kollywood fans want to see the Terminator man’s action in Kollywood. Surprisingly the script of “Enthiran 2” was given to Arnold after the 'I' audio launch and he was impressed with it. He felt, 32 days of call sheets are more than enough to complete his portion; while the director Shankar asked for a bulk call sheet of 50 days from him. It didn't materialize at that time and Shankar went back to the idea of casting
Chiyaan Vikram
for the antagonist.
But later, Arnie reconsidered his decision and both the
actor and the director mutually agreed with 40 Days of shooting. The Terminator
star was paid by a whopping package of Rs 100 Crores by Lyca Productions. So it
looks like “Enthiran 2”, not only crushed “Baahubali” with its budget but also
made its record in bringing the international actor in the cast.
