Enthiran, also known as Robot (Hindi version), was directed by S. Shankar. It was a sci-fi movie starring Rajinikanth in dual roles and Aishwarya Rai as the female lead. The sequel of the movie was 2.0, once again starring Rajinikanth but this time, the negative lead was played by Akshay Kumar. Robot was loved a lot by the audience but 2.0, which had a hreat hype, did not perform so well.
