While director Shankar’s 2.0 has been counted
among the most anticipated movies of 2018, the film’s teaser and trailer have
further added to its intrigue.
The sequel to the 2010 sci-fi thriller Robot will
see Rajinikanth donning multiple looks. Akshay Kumar who plays the antagonist
will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar in the movie.
2.0 throws light on how modern technology has
adverse effects on nature. Talking about his experience of donning prosthetics
for the film, Akshay says, “2.0 has been a challenging film. I have learnt a
lot from Shankar and I always say that he is not a director but a scientist. It
used to take me three-and-a-half hours to put on my make-up and one-and-a-half
hours to take it off. I have never applied as much make-up in my life as I have
for this film. But in the end, the pain I went through while shooting for it
has been worth it.”
Meanwhile, Shankar elaborates, “Rajinikanth sir
will be seen as Vaseegaran, Chitti, 2.0 and giant Chitti. This action
thriller’s biggest strength is him. Despite having acted for years, his
performance is fresh even today. When we were shooting the climax of the film
in Delhi, his health was not good. The temperature outside was 47 degrees, and
he had to wear a costume weighing 12 kilos. He even hurt himself during the
shoot, but he still finished the scene before heading to the hospital. It is
because of this dedication that he is a superstar even today. Akshay sir also
had to sit for long hours, wearing prosthetic make-up, including a wig, lens
and demonic teeth.”
Rajnikanth shares, “When I was shooting for the
film, I was unwell. I was taking close to eight takes for a shot and that made
me lose my confidence. I even told Shankar that I won’t be able to shoot for
the film, but he told me that he would plan it according to my convenience. He
also said that I need not wear the bodysuit, but I insisted on sporting it.
When I saw Akshay Kumar in his get-up, I was completely blown away.”
The Hindi version of the film will be presented by
Karan Johar. Robot 2.0, produced by Subaskaran and Lyca Productions, will
release across India on November 29 in 3D & 2D.
