Release
To
Be
Prepone
To
Avoid
Clash
With
2.O
According
to
emerging
news
Kamal
Haasan
is
planning
to
prepone
the
release
of
Vishwaroopam
2
from
April
to
January
2018.
It
is
heard
that
the
legendary
actor
is
shooting
the
last
song
of
the
film
at
the
Officers
Training
Academy
in
Chennai.
It
is
also
heard
that
by
deciding
to
move
the
release
date,
Kamal
Haasan
is
targeting
a
safe
release
not
overlapping
with
the
release
of
Rajinikanth's
2.O.
Rajinikanth's
2.O
was
scheduled
to
release
on
January
25
but
because
of
the
substantial
CG
work
the
film's
release
has
been
postponed.
So
Kamal
Haasan
is
planning
to
make
use
of
the
Republic
Day
weekend
for
his
Tamil-Hindi
bilingual
Vishwaroopam
2,
says
a
source
in
the
Tamil
film
industry.
The
Delay
Of
Viswaroopam
2
The
sequel
to
Viswaroopam
is
delayed
because
of
producer
Aascar
Ravichandran's
financial
woes,
says
reports.
But
it
is
heard
that
some
of
the
wrangles
have
been
cleared
after
some
negotiations.
Vishwaroopam
was
also
originally
scheduled
to
release
on
25
January
2013,
but
certain
religious
groups
protested
against
the
film
and
it
took
nearly
two
weeks
for
the
actor
to
clear
all
the
hurdles
in
Tamil
Nadu.
After
five
years,
Kamal
Haasan
is
back
with
the
sequel
but
this
time,
he
is
confident
of
releasing
the
film
without
any
controversy.
Theatrical
Trailer
The
theatrical
trailer
of
Viswaroopam
is
ready
and
it
is
heard
that
it
has
already
been
exhibited
to
Kamal's
close
associates.
It
is
reported
that
those
who
viewed
the
trailer
have
showered
praised
for
its
technical
finesse.
Viswaroopam
2
Specialities
The
sequel
is
expected
to
have
drama
and
action
in
the
right
mix.
A
major
highlight
of
the
film
is
touted
to
be
an
elaborately
shot
underwater
stunt.
The
original
plan
was
to
release
the
trailer
on
Kamal
sir's
birthday
the
7th
of
November
but
the
Hindi
version
of
the
trailer
needed
some
work.
Since
the
film
is
a
bilingual,
everyone
in
the
team
felt
the
Tamil
and
Hindi
trailers
should
be
released
simultaneously,
according
to
reports
from
sources
close
to
the
makers.
Kamal
Haasan’s
Recent
Struggles
Thoonga
Vanam
(2015),
a
remake
of
the
French
film
Sleepless
Nights
was
Kamal
Haasan's
last
proper
release
in
Tamil,
but
the
movie
failed
to
make
any
impact
at
the
box
office.
Sabaash
Naidu
After
Thoonga
Vanam,
Kamal
Haasan
had
started
a
comedy
movie
Sabaash
Naidu
a
spin-off
of
his
Balraam
Naidu
character
from
Dasavathram
and
Shruti
Haasan
was
cast
to
play
his
daughter.
But
the
film
has
been
suspended
temporarily
owing
to
several
reasons.
After
the
film's
director
TK
Rajeev
fell
ill,
Kamal
himself
came
to
take
care
of
the
direction.
After
two
schedules,
Kamal
fractured
his
leg.
Recently
Kamal
said
that
he
will
be
completing
his
pending
films
before
his
much
anticipated
political
entry.
Before
his
hugely
hyped
political
entry,
Kamal
is
expected
to
complete
three
films
-
Vishwaroopam
2,
Sabaash
Naidu,
and
Indian
2
with
star
director
Shankar.
