Rajinikanth collaborated with Lyca Productions for 2.0 as the lead Actor. The film was a heavy budgeted one and ended up as a loss venture for Lyca Productions. Rajini again did Darbar for Lyca which too had failed miserably. He did an extended cameo role in Lal Salaam which was produced by Lyca this year which also became a major disaster. Now, Vettaiyan which released recently is heading towards a failure. Rajinikanth is also learnt to have decided compensating Lyca Productions again with a film.
Rajinikanth has expected Vettaiyan to compensate for the earlier riding losses for Lyca Productions. The film was also planned as a medium budgeted film in the beginning but the cost shot up with Amitabh Bachchan, Rana and Fahadh Faasil coming onboard along with other making sequences.
