Superstar Rajinikanth: I Don't Want To Act In 'Real Life'!
Rajinikanth says he only likes to act on the silver screen and will always be a down to earth person off screen as he doesn't like to act in real life.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
is
confident
that
his
mega-budget
sci-fi
thriller
2.0
will
be
the
most
prestigious
Indian
film
ever.
"It
will
appeal
to
both
the
global
and
Indian
audiences.
Director
Shankar
has
a
nice
social
message
for
everyone
in
the
film," Rajinikanth,
66,
told
reporters
at
a
press
conference
in
Dubai.
The
team
of
2.0,
including
Rajinikanth,
Akshay
Kumar,
A.
R.
Rahman,
director
Shankar,
Amy
Jackson
and
producer
Allirajah
Subaskaran
were
present
at
the
event.
Asked
about
his
down-to-earth
personality,
Rajinikanth
said,
"I
don't
want
to
act
in
my
real-life
because
no
one
pays
me
to
act
off-screen."
Akshay,
50,
said
he
had
a
completely
different
experience
of
working
in
2.0,
which
is
touted
to
be
Asia's
costliest
movie
at
a
budget
of
Rs
400
crore.
"I've
never
done
a
role
like
this
in
my
entire
career.
And,
I've
never
seen
anyone
doing
a
character
like
this.
It
was
a
whole
new
experience
to
play
the
role
of
an
anti-hero,"
said
Akshay,
adding
that
Shankar
is
not
just
a
film-maker
but
a
scientist
with
a
grand
vision.
Director
Shankar
said
2.0
is
not
an
extension
of
his
2010
blockbuster
Enthiran,
which
also
starred
Rajinikanth.
"2.0
is
not
an
extension
of
Enthiran.
It's
a
new
film
with
a
new
format
and
a
new
message.
But
audiences
will
get
to
see
their
favourite
characters
from
Enthiran
in
the
film.
We
have
tried
to
convey
a
message,
which
is
global.
Everyone
will
be
able
to
connect
with
it,"
said
Shankar.
He
also
stressed
that
2.0
is
not
a
copy
of
any
Hollywood
film.
He
said
the
film
just
follows
the
Hollywood
format
in
depicting
the
scale
and
the
vision.
Amy
Jackson
said,
"I
was
always
on
my
toes
from
day
one.
Shankar
is
a
great
filmmaker,
and
it's
my
second
film
with
him.
I
had
a
whale
of
a
time
working
on
this
project."
The
team
is
now
gearing
up
for
the
grand
audio
launch
at
Burj
Park,
Downtown
Dubai,
tomorrow.
2.0,
produced
by
Lyca
Productions,
is
slated
to
release
on
January
25,
2018.
