The buzz is that director Shankar is ‘silently’ shooting ‘Endhiran’ at the Chennai Film City and other locations in the city. Shooting is going on in a popular gymnasium in Adyar. A few scenes involving Rajinikanth was shot amidst tight security.

Since Aishwarya Rai is camping in Kerala for Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ravana’, the crew is shooting scenes that don’t need her. A huge set has reportedly been erected at the Film City, where the film is to be shot.

Shankar had earlier filmed a song sequence in Peru followed by some European countries. The second schedule took place in Goa.

Produced by Ayngaran International, the movie would have musical score by A R Rahman.

Southern superstar Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Endhiran, which was previously titled Robot, has roped in acclaimed Chinese stunt coordinator Woo-ping Yuen to supervise the action stunts of the film.

Sixty-three-year-old Yuen, also an actor and director, has been instrumental in creating some of the most memorable action stunts in films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that had Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh, Uma Thurman’s Kill Bill films, The Matrix series starring Keanu Reeves and The Forbidden Kingdom, which had Jet Li and Jackie Chan in it.

“Endhiran will have very slick action sequences and Shankar wanted to have someone who is very big to create some never seen before stunts. Yuen is a master of stunts,” according to a source..
