When coming up with a film which would be released in multiple languages, the director needs to be aware of things which can bring him closer to the non local audience. The showman of the south Shankar has been a known name in the Telugu circuit. His films have always created a special impact among the viewers.

This time he is arriving with the movie ‘2.0’ and it is very crucial that the Telugu version clicks given the market stamina here. He also knows how the Telugu audience feels about certain other moviemakers. Keeping that in mind, the pre release event of the movie ‘2.0’ saw Shankar making few interesting statements.

He had a video chat with the tough taskmaster S S Rajamouli and confessed openly that he is a big fan of the Telugu director. This brought a roar of appreciation among those who were present at the venue and also in the Telugu states. Some are saying Shankar’s gesture was just to entertain Telugu audience and be in their good books.
