and
Shankar's
2.0
2.0,
the
film
that
hit
theatres
last
year,
took
the
technical
expertise
of
Tamil
cinema
to
another
level.
According
to
the
report,
when
Rajinikanth
and
Shankar
decided
to
join
hands
for
2.0,
they
approached
AGS
production
house
initially
to
produce
the
movie.
Rajinikanth
And
Shankar
Visited
Their
Office
Interestingly,
Rajinikanth
also
accompanied
director
Shankar
to
meet
Kalpathi
S
Aghoram,
the
head
of
AGS,
at
his
office.
Reportedly,
they
narrated
2.0's
story
and
even
gave
an
idea
about
the
film's
budget.
AGS
Rejected
The
Proposal?
According
to
the
report,
2.0's
proposed
budget
was
around
Rs
250
crore
back
then.
But

calculated
the
prospects
and
mentioned
that
they
would
take
up
the
project
if
it
can
be
made
within

150
crore.
Later,

stepped
in.

mid-way
and
back
then,
the
Superstar
