Rajinikant’s much awaited film 2.0 is scheduled to launch in 2017 for which first look posters have been revealed on November 20. Many Bollywood actors including filmmaker Karan Johar were present at the event. Bollywood actor Salman Khan left Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar surprised when he dropped in at the event suddenly.

As per what we could make from the picture, Akshay Kumar seems little uncomfortable and perhaps feeling neglected when Salman shared the stage with Rajinikanth. Focus of the event turned to Salman and Rajinikanth was also spotted holding Salman’s hand giving him more attention than Akshay.

According to the reports, Salman got to know about the poster launch event happening in Mumbai and wanted to meet Rajinikanth. According to a report in Indian Express Salman said, “I have just come to see him (Rajinikanth). I think he is the most amazing man known. I have a lot of respect for him. I was not invited. I got to know that the launch is happening here, so I just turned up.”

Talking about Akshay at the 2.0 event, Salman said, “I think he is one of the most talented actors we have. I have worked with him. He is phenomenal. I think, if anyone have had a growth in his acting career, as a performer, from our side is only Akshay Kumar. We all remain stagnant, but he the only one who keeps on growing. Akki is one of the most hardworking, dedicated actors we have.”
