Hours Before Release 2: 0 In Trouble with Cellphone Companies?
Just hours before its release there is apparent trouble for one of the biggest films of the year Shankar’s 2: O .
According to reports, the Cellular Operators Association of India filed a complaint against the filmmakers for promoting “obscurantist and anti-scientific attitudes toward mobile phone, towers and mobile services.”
However Resul Pookutty the Oscar-winning sound designer of 2: 0 debunks all the anti-mobile theories which have cellphone companies running scared.
Says Resul, “They have to see the film and respond.In case everyone has forgotten, there is a censor board in this country, they have seen 2: 0 and authorized it for public screening.Nothing unscientific is shown in the movie to scare the public or damage any reputations.We all responsible artistes with a track record of doing work that has brought pride to the nation.Also, please remember 2: 0 is produced by one of the biggest telecom company in the world .”
Resul expects 2: 0 to be one of the biggest hits of Rajinikanth’s career. “The pre-release anticipation and enthusiasm are incomparable with anything I’ve seen. People just want to see what Rajini Sir and Mr Akshay Kumar have done together.It’s a few hours away from release… we are all busy sending off film.The first show is at 4am on Thursday. I’m sure audience will lap it up!”
