said that his role in forthcoming multilingual science-fiction action drama "2.0" demanded him to wear more make-up than what he had worn in his entire career.Akshay plays the antagonist in


superstar Rajinikanth's "2.0", which marks his southern debut. Speaking at the trailer launch event here, Akshay said working on the project has been both challenging and fun. Akshay began


his speech in Tamil amid a loud cheer from the audiences. He said he practiced for two hours to speak in Tamil. Quickly switching to English, Akshay said: "I can't express my feelings in


words. I'm really thankful to Shankar sir and Lyca Productions for this opportunity." Talking about his role, he said: "It was a very challenging role and it took a toll on my body. But the


pain and sacrifice was worth it. My character required around 4 hours of prosthetic make-up and another hour and a half to remove it. In my whole career, I've never put so much of make-up."


The film, slated to release on November 29, in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, also stars Amy Jackson, Adil Hussain and Sudhanshu Pandey in key roles. --IANShp/nv/hs
