Fans have been keeping their fingers crossed for Shankar's much-awaited, Rajnikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer, 2.0. The film was earlier scheduled to release on Diwali.

The satellite rights of the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions of the film have been sold for an astronomical figure of ₹110 cr to Zee Entertainment. Rajnikanth will be seen reprising his double role as scientist Vaseegaran and Robot Chitti Babu while Akshay Kumar will be seen locking horns with the megastar, playing the antagonist.
