However, there has been no official word about the budget of the film, but it is rumoured to be India's costliest film.
Interestingly, while discussing the movie with the producers, director Shankar kept only one condition; that movie's budget shouldn't be less than Rs 250 crore.
Robot 2 is being bankrolled by the London based Lyca Production, owned by billionaire Subaskaran Allirajah. Weta Workshop, the team that designed different looks for Vikram in his movie I, will be in charge of Rajini's look in Robot 2.
Shankar has already done a makeup test for the Rajinikant's body double as well.
However, the shoot for Robot 2 will commence only by the middle of next year. The rumour mills are churning with the reports that Robot 2 will be formally announced at the special pooja event to be organized on Rajinikanth's 65th birthday – December 12.
