2.0 first look is all about Akshay Kumar and not Rajinikanth
The film stars Amy Jackson as the female lead and has music composed by AR Rahman.
Mumbai: Rajinikanth fans across the globe were in for a surprise when the first poster of Shankar's '2.0,' a sequel to his monster hit 'Enthiran/Robot,' was released on Wednesday. But they were taken aback when the poster revealed nothing about the Superstar.
The poster gives us a glimpse of Akshay Kumar's antagonistic act, with a cluster of mysterious crows.
Karan Johar will be launching the first look on 20 November. The music of the film is composed by AR Rahman.
The film, which has Rajini reprising his role as the AI cyborg Chitti, is set for a 2017 release. Akshay Kumar will be playing the main antagonist, returning to negative roles after a long while. The film, which is simultaneously being made in Tamil and Telugu, will be dubbed in Hindi.
Karan, had earlier been associated with the monster hit, ‘Baahubali,’ as well. With his latest directorial, ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,’ grossing over rupees hundred crores, the ace director is on an all-time high. Akshay himself has had a phenomenal year, and Rajini had his biggest hit yet in 'Kabali'.
With so many successes coming together, the hype surrounding '2.0' is bound to escalate massively.
