Though Robot is all set to hit the theatres soon, we came across an interesting bit of news about the film. Apparently, director Shankar wanted Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead.

Our source said, “Shankar was keen to have Khan on board and had even discussed the script with him. Kareena, who always been a Shah Rukh fan, thought that Robot would be a great opportunity to pair up with Badshah Khan once again.”

Apparently, the Kapoor lass even met up with Khan at his palatial Bandra home. “Kareena made it a point to meet Shah Rukh personally regarding Robot. At the meeting she expressed her desire to be part of the film.”

Shah Rukh however could not do Robot so Kareena stayed out of it automatically,” said our source.
