Superstar Rajinikanth is presently busy shooting for director Shankar's magnum opus '2.0' whose final schedule of shooting is currently taking place in Chennai. The makers have announced that the film which is the sequel to the 2010 blockbuster sci-fi entertainer 'Enthiran' will hit the screens as a Diwali 2017 treat. But it is still unclear when the shooting will be wrapped up.

Rajinikanth's next after '2.0' will be a film directed by Pa.Ranjith with whom he delivered the blockbuster 'Kabali' last year. This film will be produced by the former's son-in-law and actor Dhanush.

Now it is reliably learnt that the second film from the Rajini-Ranjith combo will go on floors in the month of May 2017. It is said that Ranjith who has been busy penning the script for the film is expected lock the final script within a few weeks from now. The 'Madras' director is also simultaneously scouting locations in Chennai and Mumbai to shoot the film.

The team is yet to finalize the cast and crew members including the heroine. We can expected official announcements about this mega exciting project one by one in the coming days.
