Unbelievable! Hindi rights of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s ‘2.0’ sold for Rs 80 crore?

Jaws dropped, eyes popped and mind numb, we indeed are in a state of shock! Isn’t this a whopping amount? If reports are to be believed than Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film is going to be a record-breaking one at the box office. Just the Hindi rights of this film have been apparently sold for Rs 80 crore. Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth’s combination is working wonders for this film, truly!

A source revealed, “’2.0’ makers wanted over INR 100 crore. But the distributors weren’t too keen on paying the exorbitant amount because that would make the film risky.” Reports then state that the makers and distributors settled for Rs 80 crore. Exhibitors are of an opinion that Akshay Kumar’s presence in this film will give this film a pan-India reach.

Earlier reports had it that the satellite rights of this film had been sold for Rs 110 crore. Looks like this film is already a hit even before its release. ‘2.0’ will also see Amy Jackson in a pivotal role. (Also Read: No clash between Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth over the climax of ‘2.0’)
