Shankar just made a breaking statement at the 2 Point 0 press meet event held at Burj Al Arab 7 star hotel in Dubai. Shankar revealed that 2.0 is not a proper sequel to Enthiran. It has a completely different story and they have only retained the characters of Enthiran 1.

"I did not do a sequel just for the sake of it, I waited years to get a proper script. In fact, this story doesn't start from where the 1st part ends. It is completely a different story altogether. I retained the characters from the first part to have a relatability factor." - Shankar
