'2.0': A magnum opus even Rajamouli raves about
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,November 21 2016]
Imagine someone like Rajamouli, whose popularity soared higher than Shankar's ever could, say this: "The Master coming with a double bonanza... Next Diwali will be even louder! Can't wait... #2point0." But that's what he said. The double bonanza he is referring to are the Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar duo. As the first look launch of '2.0' happened in Mumbai amid fanfare, some exciting details were revealed by the makers to a stunned fandom.
"Hollywood Stunt Choreographer Kenny Bates who's known for his work in Pear Harbour(2001), Transformer(2007), and Die Hard(1988) is performing stunt for '2.0'," Lyrca Productions revealed. Srinivas Mohan, the VFX Supervisor, said that '2.0' was much bigger than what he had thought. It sounded like the examiner saying that the question paper was more difficult than she had thought!
"I had to wear 3D glasses while editing," editor Anthony said.
From a director who admits that making the film was like bearing the Everest on his shoulders (vis-a-vis a relatively less difficult task of climbing the Everest, as was the case with the first edition), to a Superstar who said that Shankar, the perfectionist, gives him tough time, all these make it clear that '2.0' is going to be one of the most talked-about movies of the decade.
