Needless to say, Akshay‘s evil look was the talking point of the show. In fact, a couple of hours before the trailer launch, Akshay had taken to social media to reveal his look from the film where he plays the antagonist to Rajini Sir’s character.

Rajinikanth himself showered praises on Akshay and said that the nation is going to applaud him for his performance. The superstar said, “In this film I am the villain. The truth is the hero of ‘2.0’ is not Rajinikanth but Akshay Kumar. I would have taken that character. Hats off to Akshay, he has worked so hard.”

Reports suggest that Shankar’s magnum opus has a whopping budget of Rs. 350 crore which is believed to be the costliest film ever made on Indian celluloid, stepping over Bahubaali as well.
