The film, which has Rajini reprising his role as the AI cyborg Chitti, is set for a 2017 release. Akshay Kumar will be playing the main antagonist, returning to negative roles after a long while. The film, which is simultaneously being made in Tamil and Telugu, will be dubbed in Hindi.

Karan, had earlier been associated with the monster hit, ‘Baahubali,’ as well. With his latest directorial, ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,’ grossing over rupees hundred crores, the ace director is on an all-time high. Akshay himself has had a phenomenal year, and Rajini had his biggest hit yet in 'Kabali'.

With so many successes coming together, the hype surrounding '2.0' is bound to escalate massively.
