‘Indian 2 happened because of Subhaskaran sir’

Universal Star Kamal Haasan, along with sensational director Shankar, collaborated with leading production houses like Lyca Productions and Red Giant Movies to create the high-budget film Indian 2. Releasing worldwide in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi languages on July 12, this movie is set to be a grand spectacle. The film’s audio launch event was held grandly on the night of Saturday, which saw the presence of Kamal Haasan, Simbu, and Shankar. Lokesh Kanagaraj, Nelson, A.M. Rathnam, Asian Cinemas Sunil Narang, and Bharat Narang, among many others. Celebrities like Shruti Haasan, Mouni Roy, Shankar’s daughter Aditi Shankar, and his son Arjit Shankar delivered live performances at this event.
Speaking at the event, Kamal Haasan expressed, “I have had the idea to make a film in this genre with Shivaji Ganeshan for 28 years. Shankar came with Indian story at that time. Two stories have been converging for a long time. I discussed this topic with Shivaji Ganeshan. ‘Make a film with Shankar, he has already made a film with me. We have already collaborated on many films,’ he said to me. With his belief and Shankar’s vision, I made Indian. I did not talk about the sequel with Shankar back then. If this project has come so far, it’s all because of Subhaskaran, Sir. He faced many challenges. But he stood firm in front of us. Until now, he has supported us. This picture is a reflection of the belief he had in us. We are making this film for his beliefs. Thanks to Udayanidhi Stalin, Tamil Kumar, and Semba Murthy for supporting our film. Anirudh’s music always has energy. He sang wonderful songs. I know Ravi Varman from my assistant cameraman days. He provided excellent visuals. Working again with Hollywood technicians who worked as makeup artists for Indian cinema is a joy. Thanks to all team members who supported me.”
