Lyca Productions has faced several flops in recent years, with movies like Chandramukhi 2, another Lal Salaam, and Naai Sekar Returns not doing well. However, main they had some success with Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2. Now, they are teaming up with director Shankar again for Indian 2, a sequel to the 90s hit, Indian.
Kamal Haasan will reprise his role as Senapathy, a character with strong recall value. Indian 2 focuses on drama and emotions, unlike the high-tech Kalki 2898 AD. With a two-week gap between Kalki and Indian 2 releases, Indian 2 could benefit if Kalki slows down at the box office.
Kamal Haasan’s recent success in Vikram and Kalki has built up excitement for his performance in Indian 2. The first Indian was a big hit in the Hindi market in 1996. With Kamal Haasan’s comeback and strong performances, there is hope that Indian 2 will do well in the Hindi market too. This film could be a major success for Lyca Productions.
