Mumbai: S Shankar's much-awaited sci-fi film '2.0' has been postponed yet again. The mega-budgeted film, starring Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar in the lead roles, is delayed due to unfinished post-production work.
The film, that was supposed to release on Diwali 2017, was pushed to January 2018 release owing to extensive VFX work. But the makers failed to meet the deadline, and 2.0 was further postponed to April.
