Director Shankar's 2.0, which hit the theatres in India in 2018, turned out to become a decent hit at the box office in the country. For several months now, the makers have been trying to release the film in China. The time has finally come now as 2.0 releases today (September 6) in the country.

According to the production house, Lyca Productions, the big-budget flick has released in 48,000 screens across the country. Earlier, the film was supposed to hit the theatres in July, but the distributors had to change the release date to avoid a clash with The Lion King.
