Destination Dubai: Rajinikant, Akshay, Rahman In Dubai on 27 October

Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar the  mega-stars of 2: 0  are all set for a mega-event .They will make their first post-completion appearance together in Dubai  on  the evening  of  27 October at  the posh Burj Khalifa.

While details of  what is being touted as  the “biggest musical launch ever” are being kept under wraps we can  very confidently reveal that A  R Rahman would be  performing live for the audience .

Says a  source  from the Robot team “We are  not supposed to talk about the event at all.  Yes, it is being held at the Burj Khalifa and  yes, Rahman is performing. Rajini Sir and Akshay Sir are also expected to take to the stage for a ‘duo-logue’ on working together. In addition there will be audio-visuals  of  the film’s songs.”

And therein lies the problem. Rahman, it seems,  is not ready with the Hindi versions  of  the songs. So  only the Tamil version of the songs would be played.

There is also a pall of uncertainty hanging over the two superstars’ presence.

Says  the source, “We are not sure if both Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar will make it to the Dubai event, not sure they WANT to make it.”

Director Shankar and Rajinikanth have invited their  buddy Kamal Haasan  for the music launch  in Dubai. The superstar who is currently  making space in his packed schedule  for a political career,has  promised to be present.

Says  a source, “Shankar likes to  attract  global attention at his music launch. For the music release of I he had  invited Arnold Schwarzenegger. For  2:0  he  wants Rajini and Kamal on  the same  platform.”
