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.
