The new poster of Shankar's upcoming film 2.0 has been released. The film, bankrolled by Lyca Productions for a whopping budget of Rs. 450 crore, stars Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson in lead roles. 2.0, which is touted to be the 131st of Akshay Kumar's acting career also marks his Tamil film debut as well.

Recently, during the audio launch of 2.0 in Dubai, Akshay Kumar had stated that he has never done any role like this evil role in 2.0. 

And going by the new poster, one can easily agree with the Bollywood superstar's statement as the actor can be seen in a scarier look like never before. His character is named Dr Richard, a scientist who reportedly turns into a crow after an experiment goes wrong. Akshay Kumar's menacing look in the new poster proves why the antagonist role is tailor made for the actor.

2.0 is scheduled to hit the screens on 25 January 2017.
