Academy Award winners AR Rahman and Resul Pookkutty handled the music and sound department respectively. Nirva Shah has cranked the camera. National award winner Srinivas Mohan has supervised the VFX works.

VFX and animatronic works in the movie are handled by companies from more than ten different countries. Leading firms like Legacy Effects, Tau Films, Quantum FX and Double Negative are all involved in the process.

It is certain that 2.0 will be a visual extravaganza, something never-before-seen in Indian cinema. 2.0 marks the coming together of two of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar, for the first time. While Rajinikanth will be seen in a dual role as a scientist and robot, Akshay Kumar plays the antagonist. Amy Jackson is the female lead.

Lyca Productions is funding this mega budget movie.
