Now, decoding Shankar's cryptic tweet - Fans who are eagerly waiting for the film's teaser or trailer may get a pleasant surprise or it could be that the filmmaker may release new stills and behind-the-scenes material of filming 2.0. The film is a sequel to Rajinikanth's 2010 film Enthiran (released in Hindi as Robot).

In June, Lyca Productions loosened their purse strings for the promotion of 2.0. They arranged for a 100-foot-tall hot air balloon (with the posters of 2.0 pasted on it) to fly over the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. The hot air balloon promoting Rajinikanth's much-awaited film travelled from LA to London, Dubai and Australia.

2.0 was earlier slated for Diwali release this year but due to delayed VFX work the film's release date was shifted to January 2018, around Republic Day. Recently, it was reported that 2.0's release has been rescheduled again. Maybe, the makers may reveal the film's new/official release date?

2.0 also stars Amy Jackson, Sudhanshu Pandey and Adil Hussain.
