Dulquer Salmaan and Simbu to star alongside Kamal Haasan in Indian 2

‘Indian 2’, the much talked about Kamal Haasan starrer is getting ready to go on floors. Art director Muthuraj recently started the set works. Shoot is expected to commence with a brief schedule in Ramoji Rao Film City, Hyderabad. The movie which is the sequel to Kamal’s classic hit, ‘Indian’, will be directed by Shankar, who helmed the first part as well.

Though the makers have not officially announced the cast and crew details, social medias are abuzz with several speculations. It is said that young stars Simbu and Dulquer Salmaan will be playing crucial roles in the movie. Buzz is that Simbu will be playing the role of a police officer in the movie. If the news turns out to be true, expectations for the movie will be multi-fold as both Simbu and Dulquer enjoy massive fan base among the youth.

Kajal Agarwal is most likely to be the female lead. Ravi Varman is the cinematographer and Anirudh will be the music director. Shankar is scripting the movie and dialogues are being penned by Jeyamohan, Kabilan Vairmuthu and Lakshmi Saravanakumar. Lyca Productions is backing the movie.

‘Indian 2’ will have Kamal Haasan reprising his role of Senapathi, a freedom fighter-turned-vigilante. His stellar perfomance in a dual role in the original film won him a National award. The movie was also India’s official submission for the Academy Award for best foreign language film in 1996. Unlike Shankar’s other recent films, ‘Indian 2’ will not have much VFX or CG works, so the makers are planning to release the movie in 2019 itself.
