When
Akshay
Kumar's
first
look
from
Rajinikanth's
2.0
was
revealed,
it
left
everyone
guessing
about
his
role
in
the
movie.
Also
the
'crow
look'
which
was
leaked
earlier
when
the
actor
was
shooting
generated
a
lot
of
buzz
among
the
audience.
Reportedly
he
is
the
main
antagonist
in
the
film
and
essays
the
role
of
a
scientist.
Now,
if
the
latest
reports
are
to
be
believed
then
Akky's
character
is
that
of
an
avid
bird
lover.
A
leading
daily
quoted
a
source
saying,
"The
central
theme
of
2.0
revolves
around
birds
and
their
characteristics.
Thousands
of
exotic
birds
like
macaws,
cockatoos
and
African
grey
parrots,
were
brought
to
the
set,
and
Akshay
shot
a
few
scenes
featuring
these
exotic
birds.
Interestingly,
these
birds
play
a
pivotal
role
in
taking
the
film
forward.
These
scenes
were
shot
at
huge
sets
which
were
erected
in
Chengalpattu
and
Thirukalukundram.
At
the
trailer
launch
of
2.0,
Rajinikanth
had
praised
Akshay
and
said,
"The
hero
of
2.0
is
not
Rajinikanth
but
Akshay
Kumar.
Had
I
been
given
a
chance,
I
would
have
taken
that
(Akshay's)
character.
Hats-off
to
Akshay
that
he
worked
so
hard.
It's
a
brilliant
role.
The
whole
country
will
be
proud
of
Akshay."
On
the
other
hand,
Akshay
had
revealed
that
he
was
quick
shocked
when
the
makers
chose
him
to
act
with
the
Thalaivaa
himself.
We
believe
you,
Rajini
Sir
and
can't
wait
to
see
Akky's
evil
side
this
time!
2.0
is
a
sequel
to
Shankar's
hit
film,
Robot
and
also
stars
Amy
Jackson
as
the
leading
lady.
