2.0 Valentine’s Day poster: Rajinikanth aka Chitti still in love, see pic

In the first part, scientist Dr Vaseegaran gives Chitti, the robot, ability to experience emotions and this invention backfires when his flawless and the most advanced creation falls in love with his beautiful girlfriend. While we expect a great face-off between Chitti, played by Rajinikanth, and evil scientist Dr Richard, played by Akshay Kumar, in the second part whose tagline reads ‘the world is not only for humans’, it seems like romance will also play an important role in dictating the actions of its lead characters.
