A feast for Shankar’s fans

 Ace director S Shankar rubbished all reports about `2.0’ teaser and said the work for the same is going in full swing. “Teaser is not ready because of pending CG work. It is going on in full swing in Los Angeles and will be finished soon,” said Shankar on his twitter handle.  

Actually, ace Tamil director Shankar, who delivered blockbusters like ‘Gentleman,’ ‘Bharateeyudu,’  and ‘Aparachitudu’ gained a huge fan following among Telugu viewers in the last two decades. Apparently, his next ‘2.0’ is one of the much-awaited movies in 2018 and it was sold for Rs 81 crore in TS & AP. “Shankar’s name spells magic in the two Telugu states, because he has been entertaining viewers with his larger-than-life movies for the last two decades. 

His teaming up with Rajnikanth for ‘2.0’ has triggered a lot of hype around the big budget sci-fi thriller. No doubt, Rs 80 crore-plus is highest for any dubbed film till date, but the magic of Rajni-Shankar combo and Akshay Kumar’s baddy act, will surely pull in huge openings,” says distributor Ramakrishna. 

Meanwhile, the director has kick-started shooting for his next Tamil-Telugu film ‘Bharateeyudu 2’ with ace actor Kamal Haasan in Taiwan on Jan 26. No doubt, Shankar’s fans are in for a feast in 2018.
