Everyone’s looking forward to Rajnikanth’s new film, Enthiran, with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Directed by ace filmmaker Shankar, the film promises to entertain.

These are exclusive pictures of the film, during its shooting at the historical Inca civilisational site of Machu Picchu in Peru. The film was also shot in Brazil.

The film — earlier titled Robot — was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan. After he opted out, Shankar’s favourite actor Rajnikanth stepped in.

But then the next question arose: Who would be Rajni’s heroine in the film?

Shriya Saran, Rajni’s Sivaji co-star, was considered for the role. But it eventually went to the gorgeous Ash. This is her first film with Rajni, and her second with Shankar, after Jeans.
