In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Kamal Haasan confirmed that Indian 2 is not shelved and the team will reunite to complete the project soon. “We had so many things coming in between, apart from the fact that it’s a very big film. We had COVID, we had an accident on the set where people died. It’s so unnerving but we continued,” he signs.
The actor further adds, “I run a white elephant called Raaj Kamal Films and Mr. Shankar runs a company called S Productions. These are the white elephants which we need to feed, so we go out and work. We can’t get stuck on one film. The days of Mughal-Ae-Azam cannot be repeated. We can’t sit with one film for a decade.”
Kamal Haasan however insists that all the stakeholders are now figuring out on the new shooting schedule. “Indian 2 will happen. We are all working on it, we are all talking to Lyca Production. They are also keen to shoot, so now it’s just a question of getting everything together on the logistic front,” he concludes. Indian 2 is a sequel to the superstar's 1996 blockbuster, Indian, helmed by Shankar.
