Biggest-ever deal in Indian cinema!

In what could be a biggest-ever TV deal in Indian cinema, the satellite rights of Rajinikanth and Shankar’s 2.0 have been sold for a staggering 110 Crore. Zee TV has bagged the TV rights of the film for this staggering price. It’s said that the deal includes the rights of Telugu, Tamil and Hindi versions.

Made with a whopping Rs 350 Crore budget, 2.0 is the most-awaited film of the year and most costliest Indian film ever made. Sequel to Rajini and Shankar’s blockbuster Robot (Enthiran in Tamil), the film features Bollywood star Akshay Kumar as the baddie opposite Rajini and Amy Jackson has replaced Aishwarya Rai from the original.

Ever since Shankar had announced sequel to Robot, the film has been in the headlines. Shankar has roped in Hollywood stunt choreographer Kenny Bates who worked for action-heavy flicks like Pearl Harbour, Transformers and Die Hard. While V Srinivas Mohan, of Baahubali fame, is the VFX designer, Oscar Award-winning musician AR Rahman has scored the music.

It can be noted that Srinivas Mohan had stated that the 2.0’s VFX are nothing less than a Hollywood film and also said that 2,0 has special effects much grander than my his works Robot and Baahubali.
