2.0 is the most ambitious production coming out of Indian cinema in a long time. When it was launched, the idea was to make an impression all over India and not be restricted to Southern states alone. It is the reason by Akshay Kumar was brought on board as Superstar Rajinikanth is enough for South industries.
For a long time, it was felt that the decision of getting Akshay Kumar has backfired as the Bollywood star was not helping the prospects among the core Hindi audience. His absence from promo material before the theatrical trailer was seen as a big reason. Even the initially released posters weren’t that appealing.
However, in the past few weeks, there has been a big turnaround. The interest on the Shankar magnum opus has peaked at the right time. The current opening day estimation is the biggest ever for an Akshay Kumar starrer (Current best ‘Gold’25 Cr). An opening of this sort is the reason why the star was brought on board, and the early sign of a record is giving the makers a big reason to rejoice. Ultimately, it will be up to the content and its acceptability. Let us see what Shankar has in store. 2.0 hits cinemas globally in a record number of theatres on November 29th.
