2.0 movie stills leaked online; are the makers of Rajinikanth, Amy Jackson Akshay Kumar-starrer behind it? [PHOTOS]

Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson's 2.0 is a hugely awaited film as it stars megastar Rajinikanth. Also, the movie marks the debut of Akshay Kumar in the South Indian film industry. Akshay's first look posters, in which he is barely recognisable, have further raised the curiosity levels around the film.

Now, much to everyone's surprise, a couple of pictures from the movie have got leaked online and gone viral. In one of the two leaked photos, Amy is seen driving a heavy vehicle, while the other picture shows Rajinikanth trying to push a huge object. Going by the movie stills, it seems Amy plays a robot just like Rajinikanth.

With these movie stills making their way to the internet, fans can't help but wonder if it is a deliberate attempt by the makers to keep up with the hype surrounding the film.  

2.0 is the sequel to the 2010 Tamil blockbuster, Enthiran. While Akshay will be seen in the film as an eccentric scientist called Richard, Rajinikanth returns as scientist Vaseegaran. The film, which is directed by S Shankar, also features Sudhanshu Pandey and Adil Hussain.

The sci-fi movie was earlier supposed to be released during Diwali 2017, but it has now been pushed to early next year, January 25 to be exact, as the makers want to incorporate better visual effects.

It has, however, already broken some records. It has surpassed Baahubali 2 in terms of the number of languages it will be released in. 2.0 will be released in 15 language including Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

2.0 will also outdo the biggest movie in Indian history – Baahubali 2 — yet again by opening in 7,000 screens in India alone. Baahubali: The Conclusion, in contrast, was released in 6,500 screens.
