Indian 3 in Limbo: Kamal Haasan & Shankar on Divergent Paths
26 Feb
Summary
- Indian 2's poor performance has cast doubt on the sequel's future.
- Kamal Haasan is reportedly not keen on filming Indian 3 soon.
- Financial issues and diverging career paths hinder the film's production.
The potential continuation of the 'Indian' franchise, 'Indian 3,' is currently stalled, casting a shadow over its future. Following the disappointing box office results and critical reception of 'Indian 2,' the prospect of bringing the iconic vigilante back to the screen appears increasingly dim.
Recent reports suggest that lead actor Kamal Haasan is hesitant to commence shooting for 'Indian 3' in the immediate future. This hesitation, coupled with the producers' reluctance to invest further after prior financial losses, has placed the project on indefinite hold. The film's script is now on the back burner.
Compounding these challenges are significant monetary issues, reportedly stemming from problems with their digital partner, Netflix. Without assured OTT support and facing financial limitations, the revival of a large-scale production like 'Indian 3' seems improbable at this time.
Meanwhile, both Kamal Haasan and director S. Shankar appear to be pursuing separate career paths. Haasan is focusing on upcoming roles, including sequels to 'Kalki 2898 AD' and a reunion with Rajinikanth. Shankar, on the other hand, is preparing to direct his long-cherished project, 'Velpari.' This divergence makes the return of the vigilante character uncertain, rendering 'Indian 3' a doubtful venture.
