Kamal picks Brazil while Rajini takes Peru!

The cream of Kollywood is now in South America with two of the biggest ever projects.
Endhiran - The Robot has got underway in Peru in the usual Shankar way, shooting for a song. Bet on Shankar to make things huge. From what we hear, it looks like the songs of Sivaji might start to look a bit ordinary.
The song is set in the UNESCO World heritage site of Machu Picchu, called the Lost Kingdom of Incas. The site has more than 600 years of history to it and is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Set breathtakingly on the ridge of a mountain, roughly around 2400 meters above sea level, it offers the kind of awe inspiring view that can push Shankar’s song making skills to new highs. Coming to the song, it is a duet featuring Superstar and Aishwarya Rai. Rahman’s composition is said to have a Spanish touch to it, even Machu Picchu has a Spanish touch in its history, and maybe what Shankar exactly had in his mind. Raju Sundaram is the choreographer for the song. Right after this song will be another one and this time it will be shot in USA. There is a possibility of the team coming to India before going back to the US for the second song. Executive producer Arun Pandian is in charge of taking care of the team needs in Peru.
This is something that was heard about Sivaji- the entire talkie portion was done in 63 days. 150 days went for fights and songs alone. We don’t know how much of this is true but we are sure that Shankar likes to get his fights and songs extraordinarily well done. So, the team will shoot the first song for two weeks at Machu Picchu before moving on to the next one. And out of the 100 crores budget for the entire project, Shankar seems to have proposed 8 crores for these two songs put together.
Meanwhile, in another part of South America, a supposedly 120 crore film is taking its first steps. Set in another breathtakingly picturesque location that is steeped in history, Marmayogi has begun. Kamal and a couple of crewmembers have reportedly shot a couple of scenes at the Iguazu falls in Brazil, another UNESCO World Heritage site. Kamal selected this location because it gave him the prehistoric look and feel that he wanted, remember Marmayogi is set in the 7th century. Moreover, this is the best time of the year to capture the natural majesty of the Iguazu falls. The small team was also accompanied by a Pyramid Saimira executive, maybe to size up things before full fledged shooting begins. The team will camp at the location for a couple of days and may also touch Sao Paolo, the largest city in Brazil, before returning.
