Indian 2 was supposed to be one of the biggest films of Kamal Haasan owing to the success of Indian and the fan following. However, the movie turned out to be a huge disappointment and tanked at the box office. Even before the film’s release, the makers had announced the release of Indian 3. Now, after all these months, the film’s director S Shankar has broken his silence about Indian 2.
Speaking to Tamil magazine Vikatan, the director said, “I tried to convey a good thought. That way, I am happy. ‘If the house is clean, then the nation will be clean’ is a wonderful and necessary thought. Although there is a question of how it can be practically implemented, it is still important.”
Justifying his film, Shankar shared two instances which according to him was an Indian 2 impact. He said, “When a woman engineer from a corporation in Telangana was caught on video collecting bribes by her husband, they called it the ‘Indian 2’ effect. What we thought of is happening, right? I am happy. Two days ago, an auto driver snatched a gold chain from a woman who was riding with him. When his son found out, he took his father to the police station and handed him over. When I see these kinds of stories, I am happy. I did not expect such reviews for Indian 2. But, it came. I’ve moved on and I am concentrating on my work.”
Post the negative response to Indian 2, there were reports about Indian 3 taking the OTT route. However, the filmmaker quashed the rumours and confirmed that the movie will release in theatres.
