“The film’s teaser won’t be released at the event. Since it’s a very huge event, the team might release the 2D version of the film’s first glimpse that was released last year. There might also be a special announcement regarding the 2.0 merchandise launch,” a source told Hindustan Times. After the grand audio launch in Dubai, 2.0 team was supposed to have a teaser launch event in Hyderabad but it was called off for reasons unknown. Superstar’s fans who expected a surprise from the makers of 2.0 for his birthday were utterly disappointed.
