The audio launch of the Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar-starrer 2.0 will be held at Dubai's Burj Park — a stone's throw away from the 160-storeyed world’s tallest structure Burj Khalifa, according to Firstpost.
The launch will take place on October 27 and the team has also organised a press conference on October 26 at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. A R Rahman will perform live at the event, apart from a host of other exciting performances and stage shows.
The teaser of the movie, which is being helmed by director Shankar, will be unveiled at another event in Hyderabad, on November 22, at the Shilpakala Vedika auditorium. The trailer launch of the film, which also marks Bollywood star Akshay Kumar's Tamil debut in the role of a villain, will be held in Rajinikanth's home city of Chennai. Though the trailer launch date is not finalised yet, the makers are reportedly trying to plan it for December 12, to coincide with Rajinikanth's birthday.
While the talkie portion of 2.0 was completed some time back, director Shankar is gearing up for the final song shoot. Amy Jackson, who plays an important role in the film, has been rehearsing for the song over the past few days. The track will be filmed on Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson.
"The team has already initiated talks with Twitter, Facebook and Google for possible collaborations. An official announcement of each partnership will be revealed at regular intervals over the next few weeks. Apart from launching a dedicated emoji on Twitter, audiences can also expect new things on the micro-blogging platform for the film," a source said.
Made at a whopping budget of four billion Indian rupees ($61,209,812), 2.0 has music composed by Rahman. Cinematographer Nirav Shah, who has joined forces with Shankar for the first time, has shot the film in stereoscopic 3D.
