Indian 2, the sequel to blockbuster Bharatheeyudu which released back in 1996, was promoted as one of the most prestigious projects in Indian cinema. However, the unit halted shoot following a major accident on the sets which claimed the lives of a few unit members.
Incidentally, the project did not hit the floors after the accident, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and there are reports claiming that the project has been scrapped by the producers.
Speaking with media, Kajal who was roped in to play the female lead in the film opened up about the postponement of the project.
“Majority of the crew working on Indian 2 hail from USA. They are unable to fly back to India owing to various reasons. That is reason why the shoot is postponed indefinitely,” she commented.
Meanwhile, both Shankar and Kamal Hassan move on to their subsequent projects. Kajal agreed to star in Vikram, helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and Shankar announced a film with Ram Charan. There is no update on the possible resumption of Indian 2. It is unclear if the project will ever hit the floors again.
Coming to Kajal, she will next be seen in Mosagallu which is hitting the marquee tomorrow, 19th March. She will also be seen in Acharya, which is releasing on 13th May.
