Here’s how Rajinikanth bowed down to power of Akshay Kumar

Finally the first look of much awaited Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's 2.0 is out and it has intrigued us.

 

Finally the first look of much awaited Rajinikanth’s and Akshay Kumar’s 2.0 is out and it has intrigued us. One can see the logo of the film in the poster and a man is seen standing with his hands in the air who we spotted to be Akshay Kumar, the main antagonist of the film. And that’s what surprised us. As far as one can remember this is the first time in the last decade or so that a Rajinikanth vehicle doesn’t feature Rajinikanth himself in the first look and instead has the villain on it. Going by the first looks of Rajinikanth’s last five films this was rather surprising.

This change may be due to the business of Akshay Kumar’s films this year, be it Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom as all three of his films entered 100 crore club and he has become one of the biggest superstar of Indian cinema and come to think of it Rajinikanth too had Kabali released this year but after opening opening and creating frenzy, the hype soon fizzled out. Also no points in guessing, the villain’s role in the movie is very important and was much talked about as even Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger was approached for the same. So it was observable when you sign a superstar like Akshay Kumar for your film, you give him the special treatment as that adds value to the film and creates the right kind of hype. 

Let’s take a look at the first look poster of Rajinikanth’s last five films and you’ll know what I am talking about.

Kabali

Lingaa

Kochadiiyaan

Enthiran

Sivaji- The Boss

Another look of 2.0 is up for release in the coming weekend and we are sure we’ll get to see Rajinikanth as Chitti by then. So guess we have to wait for few more days for that. Till then keep tripping over this first look.
