Indian 2: Facing Massive Losses in Crores

The sequel to the blockbuster Yesteryear film, “Indian 2,” starring Kamal Haasan, raised high expectations among fans and audiences alike. However, upon its recent release, the film has failed to replicate the magic of its predecessor, disappointing many. Reports indicate “Indian 2” is facing significant losses in crores.

In an effort to mitigate the negative reception, the film’s team and makers have decided to trim approximately 20 minutes from its runtime, aiming for a more concise presentation. Nevertheless, this adjustment has added to the financial setbacks, as cutting such a duration impacts the film’s overall budget.

Lyca Productions, the film’s production house, has also encountered challenges, including disputes with director Shankar over budgetary concerns. These issues have led to delays and hindered the film’s progress.

Shankar’s approach, often focused on his creative vision without strict adherence to budget constraints, has been a recurring problem. Effective planning to avoid unnecessary expenditures is crucial for both producers and the success of the film itself. “Indian 2” has underscored these challenges once again.

Looking ahead, despite the setbacks of “Indian 2,” plans for a sequel, “Indian 3,” slated for release in 2025, remain in place. The response to these financial setbacks will likely influence how Shankar navigates the future of the franchise.
