2.0 starring Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar is one of the most anticipated films. As per the trade pundits, the film is expected to be one of the biggest openers of next year. Also the film is set to clash with Sidharth Malhotra's Aiyaary.

Now as per the development, it might be a possibility that the clash between the two films has been averted, "It will be stupid to clash with a film like 2.0, which is anyway riding really high on anticipation. People are expecting firecrackers and given its budget, the makers will go all out."

Added the source, "Sidharth, who’s close to Akshay, met him in London, and they talked about the clash. Mostly, Aiyaary will come on a different date because Shankar is certain he’s going to be ready with the film much before January."
