Robbie first rose to fame in the all boy band Take That, before launching a successful solo career in 1996. A string of UK hit singles and albums followed.
In 2006 Robbie made it into the Guinness Book of World Records after he sold 1.6million concert tickets in a single day.
The filmmakers have been careful to avoid comparisons to recent musical biopics like the Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody, and the Elton John story, Rocketman.

In an official statement the production said the film was ‘a satirical musical based on the life of a pop star’.
The film will feature ‘re-imaginings’ of Robbie’s hit songs, and stunning visual effects in order to explore the ‘inner demons’ the super star has had to battle both on stage and off.
The film’s production is based at Docklands Studios in Melbourne.
