In “2.0”, Rajinikanth portrays both a scientist and a robot.
Director Shankar praised Rajinikanth’s dedication at the film’s trailer launch.
“Just as we were set to film the climax in a Delhi stadium, Rajini Sir fell ill. We had spent six months planning the climax, which was to be filmed in 40 days. Despite his health issues, Rajini Sir insisted we proceed with the shoot,” Shankar shared.
“We filmed under extremely hot conditions. Rajini Sir wore a 12 kg robotic suit for the shoot. His dedication amazed us,” he added.
