A few months ago, it was announced officially at the
Bigg Boss
show that the “Indian” sequel will be shot with
Kamal Haasan
and directed by “
S Shankar
.” It was said that
Dil Raju
, a popular Telugu producer will bankroll the project. Later, it was said that the film will be produced by LYCA Productions. The reason is that the team decided to go with the title “Indian 2” and in Telugu with “Bharatheeyudu 2.” When the producer of Indian, “
A M Rathnam
,” claimed for the royalty of the title, Dil Raju couldn’t offer the amount. Although they didn’t announce anything official, the fans understood that Dil Raju is not in the project. In the recent interaction with the media, Raju said that he had been longing to work with Shankar. Although he got the opportunity, he couldn’t continue due to some unexplainable reasons. Raju hopes that he would get a better chance to work with Shankar in future.
