Why Arnold, Kamal Rejected 2.0?

Rajinikanth-Shankar's 2.0 is becoming the most talked film across the world. Movie lovers are waiting eagerly to enjoy Asia's most expensive film on screen when it releases on Nov 29. Analysts predict the film would set many new records at the box office. In the meantime Shankar revealed that Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger and Universal Star Kamal  Haasan rejected 2.0. 

Shankar said, "We first planned to cast Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film and he too showed lot of interest. However when we were readying for the shooting of scenes on him, Arnold walked out of the project coming out with various excuses."

Shankar continued saying, "Before finalizing Akshay Kumar for the negative role, we planned to cast Kamal Haasan and thus delight fans by showing Kamala and Rajini in one film. Myself and dialogue wrier Jayamohan discussed about it and then met Kamal Haasan. However Kamal showed more interest in doing Bhaarateeyudu 2. So we finalized Akshay kumar." 

2.0 which is the sequel for Robot, stars Rajinikanth in lead, Amy Jackson as heroine and Akshay Kumar as an antagonist.
