Reportedly, the makers have spent a whopping Rs 12 crores for this song. This song features Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson as robots and wear eye popping costumes. The art team created an artificial blue lagoon trees having robot like branches. Shankar’s imagination level is unparalleled and the spectacular visuals in his songs speak volumes about his genius.

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is making his South Indian debut by playing the antagonist in this movie.

2.0 is perhaps the most anticipated Indian movie in recent years. True to the hype, the movie has been doing some massive pre-release business. Shankar has scripted the movie along with noted writer Jeyamohan. Several leading technicians from the west are associated with this magnum opus.

Lyca Productions is investing a mammoth budget of Rs 450 crores, which is the highest for any Indian film currently under production. The movie’s audio lauch will be held on October 27 in Dubai. Composer AR Rahman will be performing live in the event. The teaser will be released in November and trailer in December.

Inspired by the massive success of Dangal and Baahubali 2, the makers of 2.0 are planning to release the movie in multiple languages. It is slated to hit screens worldwide in January next year.
