Excerpts from 2.0 First Look Launch 

The technical issues in the live streaming of Lyca Production's 2.0 might have delayed the view but those present at the venue (Yash Raj Studios, Mumbai) have flooded the internet with what they witnessed. Here are some excerpts from the first look launch of the movie, which (from the looks of it) is on its way to be positioned in the list of path-breaking movies in the history of Indian cinema. 

• Akshay Kumar's makeup for the Villain's role took 6 hours everyday and hence it required him to wake up and be on sets 6 hours earlier than everyone.
• According to AR Rahman, 2.0 is the toughest film of his career as he finds his director (Shankar) more demanding (of Rahman's work) than he has been on any other project.  
• Hollywood stunt choreographer Kenny Bates, known for his work in Pearl Harbour (2001), Transformers (2007) and Die Hard (1988) is performing a stunt for 2.0.
• Oscar award winning sound designer Resul Pookutty revealed that the format of sound design used for 2.0 is the first in the world. 
• VFX head Srinivas Mohan said that the grandeur of visuals in 2.0 will be bigger than Enthiran/Robo and Baahubali. According to Editor Antony, the most challenging part was the 3D portion. 
• Director Shankar felt that making 2.0 has been quite challenging for him as he felt it was equivalent to climbing mount Everest with the weight of another Everest on his shoulder.
• The movie which has Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson in lead roles will hit theatre screens during Diwali next year.
