Kamal
Haasan,
the
veteran
actor,
and
Shankar,
the
supremely
talented
filmmaker
are
back
together
for
the
much-talked
project
Indian
2.
The
highly
anticipated
project,
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
actor-director
duo's
1996-released
blockbuster
Indian,
is
now
delayed
indefinitely
due
to
various
reasons.
However,
the
sources
close
to
the
project
recently
revealed
a
major
update
on
Indian
2.
Recently,
Lyca
Productions,
the
banner
which
bankrolls
the
Kamal
Haasan
starrer
had
confirmed
that
the
project
is
not
shelved.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
Indian
2
is
very
much
on
cards,
but
the
shooting
of
the
movie
will
not
be
resumed
anytime
soon.
The
makers
are
now
planning
to
resume
the
Shankar
directorial
in
February
2021.
According
to
the
sources,
about
60
percent
shooting
of
the
Kamal
Haasan
starrer
is
already
finished.
If
the
shooting
of
the
project
resumes
in
February
2021,
it
will
take
a
lot
of
time
to
complete
the
rest
of
the
portions,
and
then
the
post-production.
Thus,
the
makers
are
now
planning
to
release
in
Indian
2
in
2022,
mostly
as
a
Pongal
special
release.
Rumours
which
suggest
that
Indian
2
is
shelved
started
doing
round
after
the
unfortunate
crane
accident
that
happened
on
the
sets
of
the
movie
in
February
2020.
The
differences
between
Kamal
Haasan
and
Lyca
Productions
came
out
in
public
after
the
actor
and
production
team
published
a
couple
of
open
letters.
It
was
rumoured
that
Lyca
Productions
is
planning
to
cancel
their
2-film
deal
with
Kamal
Haasan,
following
the
fallout
with
the
actor.
It
was
also
speculated
that
Shankar
is
already
working
on
his
next
directorial
venture,
and
has
no
plans
to
resume
Indian
2.
But
Lyca
Productions
put
an
end
to
the
speculations
by
confirming
that
the
project
is
very
much
on
cards.
Kamal
Haasan
is
reprising
his
highly
celebrated
character
Senapathy
in
the
project.
Kajal
Aggarwal
is
appearing
as
the
female
lead
in
the
Shankar
directorial,
which
features
popular
Siddharth
in
a
pivotal
role.
Anirudh
Ravichander
has
composed
the
songs
and
background
score,
thus
marking
his
first
collaboration
with
both
Kamal
Haasan
and
director
Shankar.
