Superstar Rajinikanth, who has been out of action for nearly three months, has finally resumed shoot for Shankar’s upcoming magnum opus “2.o”, a mega-budget science-fiction thriller.Rajinikanth resumed shooting for the film earlier this week.
Filmmaker Shankar shared a latest picture of Rajinikanth from the sets of the film on his Twitter page.
He wrote that two-thirds of the film has been shot in 150 days. Also starring Akshay Kumar, Amy Jackson, Adil Hussain and Sudhanshu Pandey, the film has music by A.R Rahman and cinematography by Nirav Shah.
Tipped to be a sequel to 2010 Tamil blockbuster “Enthiran”, the film features Akshay Kumar as the antagonist.When it comes to Tamil movies over the years, many actors in Tamil cinema tried to emulate superstar Rajinikanth in their films and failed miserably. But an actor, who actually came an inch closer than the others in doing a Rajinikanth impression on screen, is his very own son-in-law Dhanush.If watched closely, most of Dhanush’s films come spiced with Rajini-ism.
After the Kabali-related madness, Rajinikanth’s next project with director Pa Ranjith, Kabali 2, has now been announced. Kabali 2 is to be produced by Dhanush, and comes as a breath of fresh air for the industry. After all, this is not a usual collaboration seen in Tamil cinema; Dhanush has produced only two films starring his father-in-law.
Before Dhanush and Rajini bring the house down with Kabali 2,Rajinikanth fans are in for another treat. And this time, it promises to be a ‘double dhamaka’. Actor Dhanush took to Twitter to announce that Wunderbar Films, established by him and his wife, Aishwarya R. Dhanush, would helm the Superstar’s next film which is to be directed by Pa.Ranjith.
The teaser, posted by Dhanush,says that the yet-to-be-named Rajinikanth film will be released after Director Shankar’s 2.0 which is slated for a 2017 release.
