Official: Here’s the teaser release date of 2.0

The two-year-long wait for 2.0 is coming to an end as the movie is slated to hit screens on November 29. Before that the makers have planned to release a few promos and the teaser will be the first of many to follow. Director Shankar has informed that the movie’s official teaser will be released on September 13. Teasers of both the Tamil and Hindi version will be released on the same day.

2.0 is the continuation of Enthiran aka Robot, but not exactly a sequel. The movie, which got released in 2010, made waves at the box office and emerged as a massive hit across the country. This time the expectations are multifold as two of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar, are coming together for the first time. While Rajinikanth appears in a dual role as scientist Vaseegaran and the robot Chitti, Akshay Kumar essays the antagonist’s role. Amy Jackson plays the female lead.

Shankar has scripted the movie jointly with Jeyamohan. Many internationally acclaimed technicians are associated with 2.0. Oscar winners AR Rahman and Resul Pookkutty are part of the crew. Legacy Effects, who have worked in movies like Avengers, Jurassic Park, Iron Man etc are working on the animatronics department. National award-winner Srinivas Mohan is supervising the VFX works.

With 2.0 scheduled for release on November 29, filmmakers across the country are planning their releases accordingly to avert a box office clash. Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions will be releasing the movie’s Hindi version while the original Tamil version will be released by Lyca Productions.
