2.0
Trailer:
An
Akshay
Kumar
Show?
According
to
a
report
carried
by
Bollywoodlife,
the
2.0
trailer
will
feature
more
of
Akshay
Kumar
and
less
of
Rajinikanth.
The
makers
apparently
want
to
cash-in
on
the
B-town
star's
pan-India
appeal
and
ensure
that
the
film
opens
on
a
solid
note.
If
this
is
indeed
the
case,
then
the
2.0
trailer
might
upset
Rajini
fans
big
time.
Are
Rajini's
Recent
Failures
Responsible
To
The
Dependency
On
Akki?
Rajinikanth's
last
few
films
have
not
lived
up
to
the
expectations.
In
fact,
his
last
release,
Kaala
failed
to
make
any
impact
whatsoever
in
the
Telugu
states
and
the
Hindi
heartland.
The
buzz
is
that
the
lacklustre
response
to
his
recent
releases
is
one
of
the
main
reasons
the
makers
have
decided
to
make
Akshay
the
pivot
of
the
trailer.
Is
Akshay
The
Real
Hero
Of
2.0?
A
few
days
ago,
it
was
reported
that
Akshay
and
not
Rajini
is
the
'real
hero'
of
2.0.
The
report
further
stated
that
Akki's
character
Dr.
Richard
is
projected
as
someone
who
is
fighting
for
the
right
causes
and
hence
might
end
up
coming
across
as
the
'good
guy'.
The
makers
might
have
decided
to
focus
more
on
this
character,
keeping
in
mind
the
plot
of
2.0.
A
Risky
Decision?
Rajinikanth
might
be
going
through
a
rough
patch
on
the
professional
front;
however,
Thalaiva
still
remains
a
demi-god
for
his
countless
fans.
If
the
2.0
trailer
does
indeed
focus
more
on
Akshay
than
Rajini,
it
might
fail
to
connect
with
the
Tamil
audience.
And,
this
might
take
a
toll
on
its
box
office
performance
in
its
core
market.
In
other
words,
the
decision
to
focus
on
Akki
might
backfire
big
time!
