Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s most anticipated sci-fi movie 2.0 is all set to release on January 25, 2018, after the delays. The promotions of the film have already begun with a world tour in an interesting rather innovative manner. However, 2.0‘s team will unveil the first teaser promo and reveal the look on Diwali.

These days the filmmakers are coming up with out of the box ideas to prove their mettle at the Box Office. In order to build a strong hold over the fans, the makers of the 2.0 have come up with an idea to promote the film through a world tour with the help of a ‘hot air balloon’.
