The Praja Rajyam Party President and actor Chiranjeevi had told during the audio launch of Robot (Telugu version of Endhiran) that he is jealous of his dear friend Rajinikanth. Chiru went on that when he saw Rajini looking so smart and young and sharing the screen space with Aishwarya Rai, he felt like getting back to movies. It may be recalled that Chiranjeevi decided to quit movies soon after he entered politics.
