Shankar’s highly anticipated visual extravaganza ‘2Point0’ opened on a grand note all over the world this Thursday. Billed as the costliest Indian film to date, 2Point0 was entirely shot in 3D to give a great viewing experience to moviegoers. Surprisingly, the film couldn’t get a single IMAX release due to the delay done by the production team. This has thoroughly disappointed fans across the country. Here is the reason behind 2Point0 not getting IMAX release.

2Point0 was shot in 6K format and 4D SLR technology, which are IMAX compatible. The makers were initially in plans to get majority of the IMAX screens all over the country. However, they failed to submit the film two weeks before its release to IMAX for fine tuning it. Due to extensive post production work, 2Point0 team couldn’t meet the deadline. In the last minute, the makers of this magnum opus science fiction thriller have withdrawn the decision to get IMAX screening leaving audience utterly disappointed. Being the biggest technical film of India, an IMAX screening would have created a better impact on the viewers. Revenue wise, IMAX contributes nearly 5 percent of the total box office collection.

2Point0 took a thumping start at the box office with massive openings in all languages. Shankar’s narration and eye popping visuals are getting good response from audience across the country. Lyca Productions is behind this big budget entertainer.
