However, there are no official confirmation on it yet. A source in the know of things told DT Next, “Other actors in the cast are likely to follow suit as the makers are leaving no stone unturned to complete the film next year.

Apart from Indian 2, Lyca is also co-producing Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan which is being made on a budget of almost Rs 600 crore.”

There were reports earlier this week that Lyca also had planned to drop the project. However, the source refuted the rumours and said, “Indian 2 will happen and the film hasn’t been scrapped. It will be one of the first projects that Kamal will resume once the COVID-19 threat comes to an end.” Directed by Shankar, Indian 2 also has Siddharth and Priya Bhavani Shankar in important roles.
