Rajinikanth's Robot (2010) showed that robots have a heart too. The superstar's character of Chitti in director Shankar's magnum opus really brought out the emotions and it was novel because these feelings came from a robot. It's much-anticipated sequel, titled 2.0 is all set to release on 29th November and the new film features Rajni's Chitti returning along with Amy Jackson as Nila. The new film has a story that says robots have a heart and that they too can have a love story. The film's antagonist, Akshay Kumar, also plays a completely new kind of character.

At the film's recent trailer launch, Amy Jackson spoke about her role. She said, `It was difficult playing the role because I am usually very animated and robots are not so much. Shankar sir helped me get into that zone and I had to be more reserved and actually think like a robot. But Rajni sir as Chitti was incorrigible and he stole the show.` Shankar revealed that Amy was the right actor for the role. He said, `Amy was the perfect actor for the part because she has the right physique to fit into the suit of the robot and she's very hard working.` The romance between Amy and Rajinikanth's characters will be a big surprise for the viewers of 2.0.

Rajinikanth revealed that it was tough playing the part of Chitti. At the event he said, `With my health issues proving to be a barrier, I lost confidence in pulling off this role. I even told Shankar that I want to opt out of it, but he was willing to wait. During the shoot, it was a challenge to get into Chitti's suit, too. It weighs 14 kilos and putting it on and playing the part was difficult.`

The Hindi version of the film will be presented by Karan Johar. Robot 2.0, produced by Subaskaran and Lyca Productions, will release across India on November 29 in 3D & 2D.
