A promotional event of Indian 2 happened in Chennai on Tuesday in the presence of Kamal Haasan, Shankar, Siddharth, lyricist Kabilan, and actor Jegan. The speech of Kamal Haasan confirmed that the second part of the vigilante story will again be centered around the problem of corruption in India. Kamal Haasan sarcastically thanked the growing corruption in Indian politics, which has justified the return of ‘Indian Thatha’.
Praising Shankar, Kamal Haasan said, “Worldwide, as far as I know, two directors have directed a film twice. The first one is Cecil B DeMille and the other is Alfred Hitchcock. Hitcock’s 39 Steps was made in back and white, and he again made it in color. Similarly, Cecil B DeMille made 10 Commandments in both black and white and color. In Tamil PU Chinnapa’s Uthamputhiran was later remade but only Sivaji Ganesan sir could do it. But Shankar has gotten the opportunity to make the film again, and because of him, I can do it again.”
He added, “On top of it, thanks to Indian politics for keep giving us the core for Indian 2. Only because of the growing corruption, the second coming of Indian Thatha has meaning for you. It is time to thank all good and bad people that helped this film happen.”
With his statement, it is clear that the second part will also be dealing with corruption as the antagonist. However, it has given rise to skepticism about whether the same old story of Shankar, which he has executed in films like Mudhalavan, Gentleman and Anniyan, will continue to work.
Other than Kamal Haasan, the film also stars Nedumudi Venu, Vivekh, Bobby Simha, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and Kajal Aggarwal in important roles. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music for the film. Indian 2 will be released in theatres on July 12.
Ahead of Indian 2, Kamal Haasan will also be seen as the antagonist in Prabhas’s much anticipated film Kalki 2898 AD, which is set to be released on June 27.
