“Shankar is not a director, he’s a scientist,” says Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar, who plays the antagonist in Rajinikanth’s 2.0, heaps praise on director Shankar for his amazing work on the sets. “Shankar’s not a director, he’s a scientist. The way he’s arranged everything is incredible. What you will see on screen in this movie, forget about India, you’d never have seen something like this in Asia. It’s so different from anything you’ve seen before,” says Akshay Kumar who is currently in the city to shoot his portions for the film.

Tipped as India’s most expensive film, 2.0 stars Amy Jackson as the lead heroine. Rajinikanth is expected to resume shooting from the first week of August once he returns from the US next week. Sudanshu Pandey and Adil Hussain also play pivotal roles in the project, which has music composed by AR Rahman.
