The biggest blockbuster of 1996, Indian, a story about a freedom fighter, vigilante, who stays loyal to his country and takes on people involved in corruption including his own son, was helmed by Shankar and the role was portrayed by Kamal Haasan.

Shankar is now busy with the post-production work of the magnum opus project, 2.O, a supposed sequel of 2010 blockbuster, Enthiran. While 2.O is the most expensive movie in Indian cinema, Shankar is all set to make it two in a row with Indian 2.
