A new poster of the much-awaited
2.0 is here and will definitely set your screen ablaze. R
ajinikanth features with both Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson in the new glimpse of the movie. Akshay plays the antagonist to Rajinikanth's Chitti the robot in the movie, and the clash is going to be a blockbuster one, reveals the poster. Have you seen Akshay's deadly stare? It's not for the faint hearted. "I've never done a role like this in my entire career," Akshay, who is currently promoting the film in Dubai, told news agency PTI. "And, I've never seen anyone doing a character like this. It was a whole new experience to play the role of an anti-hero," he added.
The new poster arrived as a special treat for fans who are awaiting the grand music launch of the movie in Dubai, scheduled for later today.
Dubai's Burj Khalifa is currently being prepped for the event, which will be hosted by
Baahubali star Rana Daggubati. Rajinikanth touched down in Dubai earlier this week and kick-started the promotions with a press meet yesterday.
At the press meet, Rajinikanth explained why
2.0 will have a global appeal. "It will appeal to both the global and Indian audiences. Director Shankar has a nice social message for everyone in the film," PTI quoted the megastar as saying.
The hype around Rajinikanth's
2.0 is for more than one reasons. Akshay Kumar's first collaboration with the Thalaivar is a point of interest for movie buffs while fans of the Bollywood Khiladi are waiting to witness him in 12 different looks. Rajinikanth will reportedly feature in five different roles.
Reports are citing
2.0 as Asia's most expensive movie so far with a budget of Rs 400 crore. Directed by Shankar,
2.0 is scheduled for the Republic Day weekend in 2018.
