Chiranjeevi said, "Rajinikanth was my inspiration when I entered into Films.He was Senior to me, I first watched some Rajinikanth movies before actually seeing him in real. When I saw him for the first time, I was really surprised to see how normal and regular Rajinikanth looked off-screen, and then I thought, when this person could do it, then why I can't? This is how it all started. He inspired me then, and he is inspiring me again now with his 'Robo'. But there is one occasion when Rajinikanth cheated me. That is, when I was planning to join politics, I was actually inspired by Rajinikanth as he seemed to stop acting in movies and he is joining politics at any moment. I joined first, but he did not join and he went back to his acting and now came here as robo. i feel jealous of him for doing a wonderful movie"
Few Days Back when some of my fans have demanded me to act in the films again i said No to them, but After seeing the ‘Robo’ again I got interest to act in the films. I am very much inspired with this Robo film. I have been asking director Shankar since a long time to direct me. But, so far he didn’t come up with any idea for me. I now utilise this opportunity to remind him about my request. Now, the ball is in his court. If, he comes with a script I am ready to act in his film. I am sure that, this film ‘Robo’ will create a new record in Indian film history
