In
2010,
the
maverick
film-maker
Shankar
redefined
the
tenets
of
Tamil
cinema
with
his
highly
ambitious
Enthiran.
Featuring
the
legendary
Rajinikanth
and
Bollywood
star
Aishwarya
Rai
in
the
lead
roles,
the
sci-fi
thriller
boasted
of
some
stellar
visual
effects
and
this
made
it
a
delight
for
all
and
sundry.
Nearly
eight
years
later,
Shankar
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
the
film's
'spiritual
successor'
2.0
and
this
has
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
the
fans.
Now,
here
is
some
terrific
news
for
all
you
movie
buffs
out
there.
According
to
a
leading
magazine,
the
makers
of
2.0
have
spent
nearly
USD
75
Million
(Rs
544
Crore)
on
the
film's
VFX.
The
report
further
states
that
nearly
3000
technicians
worked
on
the
VFX.

an
absolute
