Robo 2 Director Shankar Apologizes

Superstar Rajinikanth Robo 2.0 director S Shankar has apologized after his production unit attacked two photo journalists in Chennai today. "I am sorry. I shall ensure incidents like this won't repeat. It has happened without my knowledge," Shankar told the media persons. Rajinikanth was not present on set, when the incident took place.

The journalists reportedly questioned why the film unit had blocked a road in the Chennai neighborhood of Thiruvallikeni.

Most of Robo 2.0 has already been filmed, except for a song and some 'patchwork'. The film also stars Akshay Kumar and actress Amy Jackson is scheduled for release during Diwali.
