Of his upcoming film 2.0, the sequel to his blockbuster Enthiran, he said: "The shooting is over. Post-production work is on. It would be released for Diwali." In Enthiran, which released in Hindi as Robot, Rajinikanth featured as Dr Vaseegaran and robot Chitti. The actor will reprise both roles in 2.0.
In 2.0, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar stars as main antagonist while Sudhanshu Pandey plays the role of deceased Dr Bohra's son. Dr Bohra, played by Danny Denzongpa, was Vaseegaran's nemesis in Enthiran.
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth recently cancelled his proposed visit to Sri Lanka next month for handing over houses to displaced Lankan Tamils. Pro Tamil groups opposed saying the island nation could mislead the international community on rehabilitation and justice for victims of human rights violations. Rajinikanth said: "I'm little disappointed but it's all over now."
