2.0 Director S Shankar on Rajinikanth: Whatever He Does is Stylish, Massy and Beautiful
According to S Shankar, it is Rajinikanth’s unwavering dedication towards his work that makes him a superstar.
2.0, the sequel to 2010 blockbuster Enthiran, which stars Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar in pivotal roles, is among the most expensive Indian films ever made and promises to be a spectacle never seen before by the domestic audiences.
However, the film’s director S Shankar says 2.0’s USP is not its grandeur but Rajinikanth.
Praising the superstar at the film’s trailer launch, he said, “The biggest strength of the film is Rajini sir. Whatever he does it’s stylish, massy and beautiful. Despite so many years in acting, his performance is still fresh.”
Rajinikanth, in turn, was also all praises for Shankar. “He never fails his producers, exceptions will be there. In the last 25 years, he has always been improving. He is a great filmmaker, a showman, a magician, an Indian James Cameron and Steven Spielberg,” he said at the trailer launch.
Confident about 2.0’s bumper success, Rajinikanth added, “This film will not do well because of technical excellence or 3D or big people are involved in it and all that. Everyone puts hard work and efforts. Something will happen, some magic will work out for this film.”
