Once
a
close
associate
of
Kamal
Haasan
had
said
that
the
Ulaganayagan
had
expressed
his
interest
to
work
on
the
sequel
to
his
1996
blockbuster
film
Indian
along
with
director
Shankar.
Since
the
two
(Shankar
and
Kamal)
subsequently
became
busy
with
their
own
respective
projects,
the
idea
of
creating
Indian
2
was
stalled
momentarily.
It
was
only
stalled
momentarily
alright,
for
producer
AM
Ratnam
has
come
up
with
a
news
that
will
bring
smile
to
the
faces
of
countless
Kamal
Haasan
fans.
The
Andhra
based
producer
who
ventured
into
Tamil
cinema
through
Indian
has
confirmed
that
Indian
2
is
definitely
on
and
that
he
has
already
spoken
about
it
with
Shankar,
according
to
a
report.
Currently,
since
both
Kamal
and
Shankar
are
busy,
the
pre
production
works
for
Indian
2
will
begin
next
year
and
the
film
will
be
made
in
Tamil
and
Telugu,
AM
Ratnam
has
assured.
Apart
from
producing
Ajith's
Thala
56,
the
Yennai
Arindhaal
producer
will
also
be
distributing
the
Telugu
version
of
Enthiran
2
post
which,
he
will
bankroll
Indian
2
come
next
year.
Indian,
at
the
time
of
its
release,
had
become
the
highest
grossing
Tamil
film
ever
until
it
was
surpassed
by
Padayappa,
three
years
later.
It
was
also
nominated
by
India
as
its
entry
for
the
Best
Foreign
Language
Film
for
the
1996
Academy
Awards.
If
the
talks
on
Indian
2
materializes,
Shankar
will
be
joining
hands
with
Kamal
after
almost
two
decades.
Stay
tuned
for
further
updates
on
the
project.
