These films have ensured narratives with great entertainment value and you can bet, 2.0 is going to be on par with them, if not better. Sivaji, Robo also made for great albums and it looks like 2.0 has already caught the fascination of many with the Madras Mozart's music score.
Akshay Kumar's presenceAkshay Kumar is starring in a
Tamil film for the first time in his career. His monstrous appearance in a role modelled on the eagle has got many spectators curious and there's little doubt about how the Bollywood star will complement Rajinikanth on the screen and pull crowds into the theatres.
The visual spectacle and 3D experienceShankar has time and again insisted that the film would be ten times more effective on 3D over the 2D experience. Several VFX teams who've worked with several Hollywood filmmakers have worked on 2.0 to ensure an uncompromising visual treat. The grandeur of the project, the larger-than-life story makes the visit to the theatres all the more fulfilling.
The ensemble cast and crew2.O isn't only about the stars but also its well-rounded cast who will add their value to this prestigious project. Amy Jackson who's proved her worth in Shankar's I and a handful of releases in the South, plays a humanoid robot in the film as Chitti's love interest. Besides, noteworthy actors like
Adil Hussain, Sudhanshu Pandey, Malayalam actor Kalabhavan Shajohn play crucial roles in the film. Prominent cinematographer Nirav Shah, Academy award-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty, popular Tamil writer Jeyamohan have all made significant contributions to make it an epic actioner.
Sequel to a blockbusterNot often have movie sequels created an impact as well as an original film. But 2.0 begs to differ. The film, as revealed by Shankar is a spiritual sequel to the first part, where significant parts of the original will find a relevance with the second part too. The story dealing with the perils of our over-dependence on technology is timed right for this generation. Trust a terrific team to bring this idea to life on screen!
