Superstar Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer 2.0 is all set to break every record. The satellite rights of the magnum opus, which is being made in three languages, have been bagged by the Zee Network reportedly for a record price.
“It’s true, Lyca productions gets a partner in Zee for our Mega opus 2.0 Satellite!” tweeted Raju Mahalingam, Creative head and COO of Lyca Productions which had pumped in several hundred crores for the film.
If sources in the industry are to be believed, the satellite rights have fetched a whopping Rs 110 crore. Zee has bought the rights for all languages surpassing the record of Aamir Khan’s Dangal.
The upcoming sci-fi thriller directed by Shankar with Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson in the lead roles is a sequel to 2010 blockbuster Enthiran.
The film has been in the news since the first day it went on the floors for its magnificence in terms of visual effects and the action packed sequences. Recently, its first look poster launch received much credit with both Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar taking part in it.
While director Shankar has been tweeting about his experiences during the shoot, sources in the industry say at least 90 percent of the shoot is completed. Shankar tweeted the other day a picture of his team, saying, “With my team after finishing a major scene in 2.0. One song and some patch works are only the balance.”
The Rs 450-crore film will simultaneously release in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi this Diwali.
