Thursday, 17th Dec 2015, 1:43 PM IST Earlier there were reports that Arnold Schwarzenegger was to play the antagonist in the sequel of Rajinikanth starrer ‘Robot’. However, now Akshay Kumar has been roped in to play the villain in the sequel. A source said, "Yes, it is locked and sealed. Akshay is doing ‘Robot 2’. The film has only become bigger with Rajinikanth, Shankar and A.R. Rahman already on board for the sequel. Now with Akshay stepping in, there is further pan-India appeal that has been generated." An insider said, "Things would be very different now with ‘Robot 2’. With Akshay stepping in, it is as mighty as it gets. Though the details are still awaited, one can expect that instead of being a dubbed version, it could well be a Tamil-Hindi bilingual. That makes ‘Robot 2’ even bigger as a product for all-India with a hugely greater reach in overseas as well." This is surely one of the biggest films of Akshay’s career. A filmmaker said, "Look at the kind of variations he is trying out. From no-nonsense affairs like ‘Baby’, ‘Airlift’ and ‘Holiday’ to comic outings like ‘Singh Is Bliing’ and ‘Housefull 3’ to action dramas like ‘Gabbar Is Back’ and ‘Brothers’ to now an act of villainy in ‘Robot 2’ - he is managing it all, courtesy his well thought of decision to make three to four films a year. If he was sticking to the model of one or two films per year like his contemporaries, he may not have managed to explore his versatility. At this stage of his career, he is running fast, and running hard." The movie stars Amy Jackson as the female lead.
