Noted distributor Nv Prasad bankrolled Prince Mahesh Babu's Spyder. The movie, however, became a dud at the box office, incurring heavy losses to its producers and distributors.
NV Prasaad, notwithstanding the debacle of Spyder, wants to get bounced back with a visual extravaganza. He acquired the distribution rights of Shankar's 2.0 for Telugu states. This sci-fi entertainer has Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth as a protagonist while Bollywood action hero Akshay Kumar in an antagonist role. Amy Jackson donned lead actress.
2.0 is slated for release on November 29. AR Rahman has scored movie's tunes and BGM. Nirav Shah has done cinematography. The film was produced by Lyca Productions.
