Robot 2: Hrithik Roshan or Neil Nitin Mukesh - who will replace Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Enthiran 2 (Robot 2 in Hindi) starring Superstar Rajinikanth has been in the news for the last six months. With Lyca Productions set to produce the big budget film directed by Shankar, there was excitement when the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger was unofficially doing the rounds for playing the main villain in the film. However, neither director Shankar nor the production house made any announcement regarding this. It was reported that Arnold Schwarzenegger was being signed on for more than Rs 100 crore for about 30 days of shoot. 

Now, it looks like Schwarzenegger may actually be out of the film! If sources are to be believed, it looks like the Hollywood actor had too many demands and that director Shankar felt that it would not work out. So it looks like the Enthiran 2 team has now started approaching Bollywood actors to play the baddie. Two Bollywood actors who have apparently been approached for this role are Hrithik Roshan and Neil Nitin Mukesh. While neither actor has been signed on, sources say that they already met director Shankar.

The role of the baddie in Enthiran 2 is an important one and the director and the producers want to make sure they make the right choice. Amy Jackson has been signed on for the film and she will be playing a robot. There is talk that Shankar is on the look-out for another heroine.
