The World Is Not Only For Humans: Rajinikanth, Salman Khan, Amy Jackson and Akshay Kumar promoting 2.0, India's most hotly-anticipated film (Photo: STR/AFP/Getty Images) At the age of 17, Allirajah Subaskaran came to Europe to escape war-torn Sri Lanka, helping out at his family's Paris restaurant and then at its corner shop. Now Lyca Productions, part of his Lycamobile telecommunications and media group, is making 2.0, a science fiction film starring Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson. Directed by Shanmugam Shankar, the highest-paid movies director in India and promoted under the banner "The World Is Not Only For Humans," it claims to be a spiritual successor to 2010's Enthiran {"Robot"]. It's the sort of story that could be the subject of a Bollywood or Hollywood movie itself. Yet, Subaskaran's creation of a billion dollar-revenue multinational company is no work of fiction.
