National Award winning actor Akshay
Kumar, who attended the grand audio
launch of his debut Tamil film "2.0 here,
said that the Hindi film industry has a lot
to learn from southern cinema.
Akshay along with filmmaker S. Shankar,
megastar Rajinikanth, Oscar winning
composer A.R. Rahman, actress Amy
Jackson and producer Allirajah
Subaskaran of Lyca Productions
attended the audio launch of the 3D sci-
fi entertainer here at the Burj Park on
Friday.
"Rajini sir is the real superstar. I would
like to thank Shankar sir for giving me
the opportunity of working with a
legend like Rajinikanth. I could've never
imagined that I will get a chance to work
in such a big and costly film like 2.0,
Akshay said.
"I have done 130 films (in Bollywood).
2.0 was my 131st film. I can only say
that during the making of those 130
films, I got to learn little from every film,
but I was learning throughout the
shooting of this film.
"There's a lot that we have to learn from
South because the way they work, we
have to understand a lot now. They work
in unity and respect each other's talent,
we have to learn that, he added.
Hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, actor
Rana Daggubati and RJ Balaji, the audio
launch of the film was also attended by
Rajinikanth's family, including his wife
Latha, daughters Aishwarya and
Soundarya, and son-in-law and actor
Dhanush among others.
A sequel to the 2010 Tamil blockbuster
"Enthiran, the film "2.0 has been made
on a lavish budget.
Akshay will be essaying the prime
antagonist in the film as an eccentric
scientist called Richard, while Rajinikanth
returns as scientist Vaseegaran.
The film is slated for a release in early
2018.

Bollywood lacks discipline which south has in abundance. And they are proud of their industry. Lack of originality mar both industry. Movies are more or less copies of some (old or new) Korean / Japanese/French/ English movies. Tadka is better done in South thanks to better script writer. Any one who watches global cinema can attest to the fact. 😆
