2.0 has already been postponed multiple times and if reports are to be believed, it has been pushed yet again. The movie was initially scheduled to release for last Diwali but was later pushed to this year’s Republic Day in January. But that could not materialize and the makers had announced it as a summer release. However, the movie is now being postponed again.
Leading trade analyst Ramesh Bala informed it with a tweet, which reads,
@superstarrajini – @akshaykumar ‘s #2Point0 release will not happen in April.. The release is most likely to be postponed by 2 to 3 months

Made on a massive budget of around Rs 450 crores, 2.0 is said to be the most expensive film ever made in Indian cinema. It is currently in the post-production stage. The pending VFX and animatronic works of 2.0 are being handled by various organisations from more than 10 countries. Legacy Effects, Tau Films, Quantum FX, Double Negative and national award-winning VFX supervisor Srinivas Mohan are all involved in the post-production process.
