Reports were abuzz that Nayantara was going to be cast opposite Kamal Haasan in Shankar’s ambitious project Indian 2, but now, Kajal Aggarwal has confirmed she is a part of the venture. At the audio launch of her upcoming Telugu film Kavacham, she said, “I also have a film with Kamal Haasan sir. I am looking forward to working with him.”
Indian 2 has music by Anirudh Ravichander and Bollywood cinematographer Ravi Varman will handle the cinematography. Nedumudi Venu, who played the CBI officer in the original, has been retained for part 2, whereas the other details pertaining to the cast and crew are yet to be revealed.
Meanwhile, a little birdie tells us Kajal Aggarwal might be roped in to play Dulquer Salmaan’s love interest, but the official confirmation is awaited. Simbu is also rumoured to be a part of this film, bankrolled by Lyca Productions that funded the recently-released 2.0.
Shedding more light on Indian 2, Shankar in an interview had said he wasn’t doing Indian 2 for the sake of it. “A lot of things happened around us in these years, and all that will be discussed in the sequel. Though I have done many films, Indian 2 will be close to my heart. After finishing every film, I used to think about developing a sequel to Indian, but finally, it materialised this year. The script has come out very well.”
