1ST IN 22 YEARS FOR RAJINIKANTH, 2ND FOR SHANKAR!

It’s official that Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-awaited sci-fi entertainer 2 Point 0 will storm the box office for Diwali 2017. With Diwali falling on a Wednesday (Oct 18th) we can expect a 5-day opening weekend for 2 Point 0, as pointed by us earlier.

A superstar film is a festival by itself but when was the last time we had a Rajini film release during India’s biggest festival Diwali? That was in 1995 when Muthu hit the screens for Diwali. So 2.0 will be Rajini’s 1st Diwali release in 22 years.

Likewise, 2 Point 0 will be Shankar’s 2nd Diwali release. Muthalvan is the only other Shankar film that has been released on Diwali.
