The first look poster of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar from Shankar’s 2.0 is set to be launched in Mumbai. The sequel to Enthiran (Robo in Telugu and Robot in Hindi) is touted to be the costliest project in Indian cinema clinching the rank from Baahubali. The film is said to be made at a whopping budget of Rs. 350 crore.
The first look launch is one of its kind as the looks of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar will be launched in 3D by Lyca Productions. The event hosted by Karan Johar would also see popular stars Kamal Hassan and Shah Rukh Khan sharing the stage with Rajini and Akshay. Huge LCD screens have been put in place to set the tone of the mega launch.
Akshay Kumar will look no less than Nolan’s Joker or Bane. No wonder the make-up for his role took him 6 hours every day to get into the character!
However, A R Rahman feels that composing music for this film is a tough nut to crack.
“It’s the toughest film I am doing. He is not happy with anything I am doing. I am trying to create something unique for India and the world,” the music director said.
Even Thalaivaa himself expressed similar sentiments saying how tough it is a job to work with the director.
“To work with Shankar is difficult. He is a perfectionist. That is why he is one of the biggest directors. This picture as 3D is a different experience. But the truth is Akshay Kumar is the hero,” said Rajinikanth.
