Rajnikanth

Battling all odds, filmmaker Shankar has finally begun shooting for his sci-fi thriller, 2.0, starring Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson in Chennai. The sequel to his 2010 film, Enthiran (Robot), which starred Rajiniknath and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, was initially slated to kick off in early December, but was deferred following the death of TN Chief Minister J Jayalalitha. The successive schedule too was affected after the city was hit by heavy rains, which wreaked havoc on the sets.
