The movie was earlier slated to hit the silver screens in January, but with hefty post-production work remaining, the makers decided to postpone the release.
"The movie has been postponed since the visual effects work is consuming more time than expected. Currently, the team is deliberating various options regarding the new release date, and an official poster will be released soon. The makers have already informed the event management team involved in the teaser and trailer launch to hold back," a source privy to the development informed Firstpost.
Made at a whopping budget of Rs 400 crores by Lyca Productions, 2.0 is directed by Shankar and is touted to be Asia's costliest "natively acquired" 3D film.
