2Point0 trailer launch live updates: Amy Jackson will share screen space with Rajinikanth in 2.0.
The trailer of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s 2.0 will be released today at 12 pm.
2.0 has been directed by Shankar, who had also helmed the 2010 hit Enthiran. The film has been making news for a long time due to various reasons, one being its visual effects, involving the work of 3000 technicians across the world. Another reason why the film is attracting a generous bit of attention is due to its heavyweight star cast which consists of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar. The film also marks Akshay’s foray into the South film industry.
2.0 will release on November 29, 2018.
Superstar is my favourite hero. It is because of his consistency in career. I am inspired by his way of life. I'm drawn by his spirituality too, says AR Rahman.
We will release selected portions of the song tracks one week before the film release. Originally the film didn't have any song. But 2.0 has four songs. Even when we started Bombay, Mani Ratnam told the film will not have songs. Later we included songs. The same happened with 2.0, says AR Rahman.
Usually Shankar sir’s film has one fast song. Shankar is Shankar.
2.0 song Endhira Logathu Sundariye is played at 2.0 trailer launch. The song was launched last year. Now the song video is being unveiled.
What James Cameron wanted to do for Avatar 2 in 2020 has been achieved by Subaskaran and Lyca. Wow 3D is also launched. This is for tech buffs. Wow 3D is the latest offering from Lyca that let's the user have the 3D experience on their mobile phone.
4D teaser is played again for the audience. Rajinikanth in the teaser says he will set the screens on fire. It seems about true. The 4D teaser is terrific.
I thought it would be nice if the sound effect comes in 4D effect besides helming the film in 3D. We worked on it. So the speakers are there under your feet. The technology is called 4DSRL. Resul Pookutty's contribution to 2.0 is humongous as he brought in technicians from all over the world. I also request the theaters in Tamil Nadu to incorporate the 3D facility. 2.0 becomes a complete cinematic experience only when viewed with 3D glasses, says Shankar.
4DSRL is one step ahead of sound designing. This format allows the audience participation. Sound gets pulled into the audience’s mind and becomes a part of the narration. I take a huge pride in being a part of the project. I thank the technical team of Lyca besides my crew members, says Resul Pookutty.
Resul Pookutty is invited to explain about the sound design of 2.0. He says, “Shankar called me to the office and narrated the story. I got shivers in the spine. Together, we executed something in the world of cinema. We worked for two years to make it into a reality. Cinema technicians from all over the world helped rewrite the algorithms of technology.”
He also thanked Subaskaran of Lyca Productions for backing the historical movie.
2.0 is a 4D film. Everyone is requested to wear 3D glasses as fans scream Thalaiva. 4D teaser is played at 2.0 trailer launch.
2.0 song Pullinangal (audio only) is being played at 2.0 trailer launch. The lyrics were penned by the late Na Muthukumar. Pullinangal is one of the last songs he wrote before passing away. Two songs already were played at Dubai launch some time ago.
