Arnold Schwarzenegger is all set to star with India's superstar Rajinikanth in director S. Shankar's science fiction film Enthiran 2 or Robot 2. The former professional bodybuilder, and Governor of California, has reportedly asked $15 million to play the role of an antagonist.

According to Indian Express, India's megastar has said agreed to reprise his role as the scientist and robot in the sequel of 2010 superhit film, Enthiran. Shankar has also added another mega star to cast in the film alongwith Rajinikanth. There are reports that Schwarzenegger will be flying down to India in January 2016 for 25 days to shoot for his part in the film.

Schwarzenegger earlier came to India for the music launch of Shankar's romantic thriller I. At that time, when Shankar met Schwarzenegger they got on very well and the actor was very impressed with the storyline of Enthiran 2 and had agreed to be a part of the film. The director also added that Enthiran 2 will be a superhero film with a backdrop of a triangular love story which is inspired from the epic Hindu book, Ramayana.

The Terminator star has not signed the project yet but there are reports that he has asked $15 million for his role. Reportedly, the filmmaker Shankar has convienced the producers of the film to accept Schwarzenegger's request because he is confident that his technically advanced film will break all the box-office records.

"It's true that Arnold has been approached to play the antagonist in the sequel. But he has not signed the project yet. The star will soon participate in a trial test for the role in Los Angeles," Mid-Day reported.

If Schwarzenegger accepts the project and shoots along with Rajinikanth then the upcoming science fiction film will be one of the biggest feature film from India to date.
