Not Akshay Kumar, Arnold Schwarzenegger was director's first choice for '2.0'

Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer '2.0' has created much anticipation amongst the viewers. Akshay Kumar's never-seen-before avatar has left everyone intrigued. However, director S Shankar revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the first choice for the role of the villain. Recently at a press conference, the director said, 'We had talked, but somehow things did not work out as the contracts of Hollywood and India are contradictory. So we thought of looking at a good cast from the Indian film industry'. The film is all set to hit the theatres on November 29th, 2018.
