Bollywood 'khiladi' Akshay Kumar plays the antagonist in the most-costliest Indian sci-fi thriller '2.0' also starring Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson. After unveiling several posters and the grand music audio launch in Dubai's Burj Park, the makers have revealed a yet-another exciting poster of Akshay Kumar from the film. Akshay is in a never-seen-before-avatar evil look. For its first, he will be essaying such a negative shade. He plays the character of an unusual scientist named Richard, whereas Rajinikanth continues his character of scientist Vaseegaran from the 2010 flick 'Enthiran' (Robot) with Aishwarya Rai.

On October 26, there was a grand audio launch of '2.0' in Dubai's Burj Khalifa. Amy Jackson, Akshay Kumar, AR Rahman and Rajinikanth attended the event. Rahman performed live at the event. Dubai's best-known landmark, the super-tall Burj Khalifa, was lit up with Thalaiva Rajinikanth's image to make Shankar's sci-fi thriller's audio launch a mega event for his fans.

'2.0' is scheduled for a release on January 25, but interestingly this has left Khiladi Kumar fans in a dilemma as well. As it was recently revealed that Akshay Kumar's 'Padman' has been preponed to have a release on Republic Day, January 26, just a day after '2.0' hits the theatres.
