Chennai: Superstar Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's much-awaited film "2.0" will now release in April. The movie, which was initially scheduled to release this year on Diwali was earlier postponed to January 25, to avoid a clash with "Golmaal Again". 

In a letter issued to the media, Lyca Productions announced that the release date of the 3D sci-fi film, directed by Shankar, has been pushed further. The movie, which also features Amy Jackson, is currently in post-production. 

The Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman has scored the music for the project, which is a sequel to 2010 blockbuster "Enthiran." National Award-winning visual effects supervisor Srinivas Mohan is working on the VFX for the film.
