The top three positions in the list at that time are 'Sanju', 'Padmaavat' and 'Race 3'. In addition to the appearance of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar, ‘2.0’ features the British actress, Amy Jackson, as the robot Nila. Besides, the Oscar-winning legend, AR Rahman, also attends the movie crew in the composer role.

Following the movie ‘Enthiran’ in 2010, ‘2.0’ takes audiences to the journey of the humanoid robot named Chitti to fight against the villain Pakshi Rajan, an ornithologist.

In Rajan’s mind, the cellular phone industry is gradually killing the birds. Therefore, he has the intention to attack all smartphone users for the purpose of preventing this species’ extinction. He uses a special technology to collect all smartphones in the world to create a giant monster.

As for Chitti, he will use his weapons to stop Rajan's plan.
