SRK was offered Robot. He toyed with the idea for long and made Shankar wait then he refused. When Shankar decided to go ahead with Rajnikant, SRK announced Ra.1 but he just couldn't finish it before Robot.
I think it is getting to him because he has to adjust the script and make necessary changes. The budget is not helping either. Now it's become his ambitious project. Hope Ra.1 works for his sanity.
I dont think he imagined Robot to do so well even in northern parts of the country.
He behaved like a petulant child when Shankar and him decided not to work together. I believe he immediately went and registered all Robot related movie titles just to piss off Rajini & Shankar.
Eventuallty he cooled a bit and offered the Robot title back as an apology.
SRK is not a big fan of Rajini eaither. In some NDTV award Rajini remarked that only Big B is the true emporer of Indian cinema. SRK didnt take too kindly to the comment as he was in the audience. So he took the mic and asked Rajini if he thinks SRK would be the emporer some day.
I sometimes think SRK has this child like obsession of being recognised & loved by one and all.
