2.0 release could see film scramble again

After Pad Man’s team postponed their release date to second week of February, another Akshay Kumar film may go through the routine. 2.0, which also stars Rajinikant, is the sequel to Endhiran, may be delayed

Sources say that the VFX on the film is still taking time and the director Shankar is not happy with the outcome. “Shankar does not want to compromise on what is the most expensive and sought-after film in Indian cinema till date. After Endhiran, this film obviously has to be bigger and better. They have already postponed the release once from the Republic Day weekend. The chances of the film being postponed is high because he wants some changes in the VFX and hence that will take time. The Tamil Film Producers Council and the Telugu Film Chamber too are monitoring it closely so that other films can be placed accordingly,” says a trade source. However, the team is yet to make an official announcement.
