Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan is currently working on the most anticipated Indian 2, which is being directed by Shankar and bankrolled by Lyca Productions. Howeve, the project has been facing one obstacle after the other with there being a number of stoppages in shoot! This movie's shoot went underway in January 2019, for Pongal. However, after a brief schedule, the movie was put on hold to accomodate Kamal Haasan's political work. Then, shoot resumed in August but Kamal Haasan had to undergo surgery and this caused yet another delay. Later, the shoot resumed and was progressing rapidly, when tragedy struck again!
A heavy crane fell down at the Indian 2 shooting spot and three people lost their lives in this accident. This lead to stoppage in shoot and the unit has been mired in legal troubles! With all this happening, there have been rumours that Kamal Haasan and Lyca Productions have fallen out. Earlier, it had been officially announced that Kamal Haasan's next project, following Indian 2, would be Thalaivan Irukkindran and that this project would also be produced by Lyca Productions. Now, rumours have been circulating that after the Indian 2 incident, the Lyca banner had opted out of this project.
However, a source close to Lyca Productions reveals that there are no issues between the banner and Kamal Haasan. We also hear that Thalaivan Irukkindran has not been shelved and is very much on. It was also announced that Vadivelu had been roped in for the movie and maestro AR Rahman had been announced as the composer for this movie! Once the legal issues are sorted out for the shooting spot accident, the team is planning to resume shoot. We had recently revealed that a skeletal crew had even recently shot for a portion of a song, in Bolivia. However, with the ongoing Corona Virus pandemic, it is unsure as to when the shooting might resume! Shooting for almost all movies and serials have now ground to a halt. Stay tuned for updates...
