The release date of Rajinikanth’s 2.0 has been postponed again. The film was slated for an April release, but is likely to be delayed further by a few more months. According to a Firstpost report, the film might have an August release this year.
The reason for the delay is the fancy visual effects work which is taking longer than expected. A source tells Firstpost that the VFX work has been distributed to many studios across the globe. The film has around 11,000 VFX shots and each shot is being worked upon with a lot of care.
As of now, the makers are looking for an August 15 release. While there have been no official confirmation on the delay, director Shankar Shanmugham recently shared an update on the film’s teaser release.
