Sun Pictures is Funding Highly for Rajini Kanth's 'Yantram'

Hyderabad Dec 30 :The budget of Shankar’s magnum opus, ‘Endhiran, the Robot’, might touch Rs.180 crore, it is reported. Sun Pictures, who have taken over the production of the Rajnikanth-starrer from Ayngaran Films International, have reportedly asked the director not to worry about the costs, however high it may be. The original budget of the film was Rs. 150 crore.

It is learnt that the company has advised Shankar to re-shoot some of the sequences that were recently shot in Chennai. Though originally meant to be shot overseas, these were canned in Chennai due to the financial reservations expressed by Ayngaran Films.
