'Robot' issue cleared


Some time back, there was a rumour that the story of 'Robot' was lifted from somewhere else. Since this was more believable than true, there was panic in Shankar's office.

It started with the Hindi film 'Love Story 2050' about a couple that go into the future 2050 with the help of a time machine. A robot brings the separated lovers together.

When this film's story became public, rumour had it that it was Shankar's story, he had narrated that to some in the Hindi film industry and it had been made into 'Love
Story 2050.' Since there was no reaction from Shankar's side, people believed it to be true.

It seems there is absolutely no connection between the Hindi film and Shankar's story. In fact, Shankar and his associates are in a way relieved that 'Love Story 2050' did not live up to expectations despite the hype.

Even if the story is different, a sci-fi film like 'Love Story 2050' would lessen expectations of 'Robot.' There will be no freshness. The flopping of 'Love Story 2050' has prevented both.
