A press meet for 2.0 was held at Hyderabad yesterday, 26th of November. The core team of 2.0 including Shankar, Rajinikanth, and Akshay Kumar took part in this event. Speaking at the press meet Shankar said:
"If it happens like this, how would it be? an imagination like that is this 2.0. This is a full and full action-entertainer, thriller. It has a very good emotional social message. This is a big teamwork comprising of 1000's of workers including Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, Amy Jackon and many. We have all worked so hard to pull out this project.
If you take Rajini sir, we were shooting the climax portion in Delhi under 40-degree hot sun with over 500 workers. That was the time Rajini sir was taking his treatment, he wasn't feeling well but if we cancel the shoot, the producers would incur a huge loss and it will also be a herculean task to assemble all the 500 members in the same place again. So keeping all this mind, Rajini sir in spite of his poor health condition completed those 40 days shooting in Delhi for the team.
AR Rahman began the background score 6 months back since he felt the scenes were very heavy and it needed a lot of work. Now when I look at the background score, it looks like listening to Batman or Spiderman's background score. The complete credits for this project should be given to producer Subashkaran because no one else would have been ready to produce a big budget film like 2.0 except him.
One request to all the media, please encourage this film because it is a statement that we are letting the world know that even India can make films like this. Thank you!!!"
