Aamir willing to play Robot

According to industry sources, the latest buzz is that Aamir is interested in Robot and is in talks with director Shankar.Interestingly,Aamir has even proposed to produce this mega budget sci-fi thriller unlike sharukh.The story, sources say, is about a scientist who invents a Robot to take care of his physically challenged child and when he finds out that the Robot is responsible for killing a few people he is forced to terminate his invention. Aamir wants to play the role of the Robot as well as the scientist,while in the earlier version narrated to Shah Rukh,Hrithik Roshan was to play the Robot.All these reports will have to be cleared only by the director and actor, otherwise the guesswork would continue,which is usual with all Shankar's projects
