Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's big-budget sci-fi film 2.0 is still minting money at the box office. Though Hollywood biggie Aquaman released last week on December 14, S Shankar's directorial venture hasn't suffered much at the ticket windows. The film hasn't faced stiff competition even from Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput starrer Kedarnath. While the Hindi version of Rajinikanth's film is inching towards Rs 200 crore club at the domestic office, the film has surpassed Rs 700 crore mark worldwide which is super impressive. South industry trade expert Ramesh Bala took to Twitter to announce the good news. 2.0 Box Office Collection: Rajinikanth-Akshay Starrer Heading Towards Rs 200 Crore Club.

He tweeted, '#2Point0 3rd Weekend WW BO Totals: #India Gross - ₹ 565 Crs Overseas - ₹ 140 Crs...Total - ₹ 705 Crs.'

While 2.0 has had a golden run at the box office ever since its release, the film will now feel the heat at the ticket windows as quite a few releases are just around the corner. In Bollywood, its Shah Rukh Khan's much-awaited film Zero that's arriving in theatres this Friday. And down South, its Dhanush starrer Maari 2 and Varun Tej's space drama Antariksham 9000 KMPH that will be hitting the theatres on December 21.

However, the film was lauded for its terrific VFX work.
