Meet
the
most
expensive
movie
of
India
cinema
in
terms
of
production
values,
2.O.
Ever
since
the
movie
was
announced,
the
makers
and
the
movie
team
is
said
to
be
under
quite
some
pressure,
thanks
to
the
combination
and
their
previous
collaboration.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
and
grandeur
director
Shankar,
are
joining
hands
for
the
third
time.
Their
first
collaboration,
Sivaji:
The
Boss,
was
the
first
100
Cr
movie
of
Indian
cinema
while
Enthiran:
The
Robot,
was
the
first
250
Cr
movie
of
South
Indian
cinema.
Now
the
mega
combination
is
back
and
the
movie
is
touted
to
be
a
400Cr
movie.
Expectations
now
are
sky
high
and
the
team
is
under
massive
pressure
post
the
stupendous
success
of
Baahubali
2:
The
Conclusion.
Trade
experts
and
movie
lovers
feel
that
2.O
is
equipped
with
the
required
potential
to
surpass
the
monstrous
success
of
SS
Rajamouli's
dream
movie
and
this
has
led
Shankar
to
revisit
a
few
things.
2.O
was
earlier
slated
for
a
Diwali
2017
release
has
now
forced
itself
to
a
different
date,
thanks
to
the
humungous
success
of
Baahubali
2,
which
has
made
the
director
and
makers
of
the
movie
focus
more
on
the
output
of
the
movie's
VFX
and
they
have
now
pushed
the
release
date
to
Jan
25,
2018.
It
also
gives
an
added
advantage
of
the
long
Republic
Day
weekend
and
a
solo
release
of
the
movie
will
brighten
up
the
movie's
prospects
at
the
box
office.
Raju
Mahalingam,
the
Head
of
Lyca
Productions,
recently
said
that
the
team
has
decided
to
go
international
and
the
audio
launch
of
the
movie
will
be
held
in
Dubai
on
a
grand
scale.
The
makers
of
the
movie
are
well
aware
of
the
fact
that
the
Southern
region
of
India
and
overseas
markets
such
as
USA,
Malaysia,
Singapore,
Sri
Lanka
and
Japan
will
be
pulled
by
Superstar
Rajinikanth
and
the
Northern
part
of
India
will
be
seen
through
by
Akshay
Kumar,
who
plays
the
antagonist
in
the
movie.
Audio
launch
at
Dubai
will
not
just
attract
the
local
market,
but
also
gives
the
team
a
chance
to
explore
some
new
foreign
markets.
Producer
Raju
recently
said
that
the
movie
has
been
shot
extensively
in
3D
and
that
the
VFX
of
the
movie
will
be
far
superior
to
the
Baahubali
series.
The
producer
went
on
to
add
that
the
movie
will
bank
upon
an
emotional
and
action
content
which
appeals
to
all
sections
of
audience.
The
movie
is
scheduled
to
be
released
in
a
whopping
10,000
screens
which
could
be
the
highest
and
widest
ever
release.
2.O,
which
stars
Amy
Jackson
in
the
female
lead,
will
have
AR
Rahman
scoring
the
music
for
the
movie.
Nirav
Shah
will
be
cranking
the
camera
while
Anthony
will
be
seen
handling
the
editing
department.
