With just one song and some patch work left for shooting, megastar Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s 2.0 is near completion. The director of the movie Shankar broke the news regarding the same on his social media account. Sharing a picture with the 2.0 team on his Twitter handle, Shankar wrote, “With my team after finishing a major scene of #2.0.

The remaining song, according to a source, will be shot on Rajinikanth and actress Amy Jackson next month. 2.0 is being made at a budget of Rs 350 crore and Lyca Productions is bankrolling the film, which will simultaneously be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

At the launch of his upcoming film, south superstar Rajinikanth praised Bollywood’s Khiladi Kumar saying,“To work with Shankar is difficult. He is a perfectionist. That is why he is one of the biggest directors. This picture as 3D is a different experience. But the truth is Akshay Kumar is the hero.”

The film features Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson playing the lead roles and Akshay Kumar playing the villain as a crazy doctor. The film also has Oscar-winning music director AR Rahman scoring the music. Also, the makers of the film have roped in Hollywood stunt choreographer Kenny Bates. He is famous for his work in action-heavy flicks including Pearl Harbour, Transformers and Die Hard.
