Shankar Putting Indian 3 On The Backburner

Shankar putting Indian 3 on the backburner. Director Shankar, known for his ambitious vision, is re-evaluating his project lineup following the mixed reception to "Indian 2." The film, plagued by production hurdles and ultimately deemed a disappointment by many, has impacted his future plans, particularly for the eagerly awaited "Indian 3."

Originally, Shankar intended to juggle post-production for "Game Changer" (featuring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani) and "Indian 3" simultaneously. However, the lukewarm response to "Indian 2" has shifted his focus.

He has now decided to prioritize "Game Changer," aiming to bounce back with a successful release for the Christmas season. The film, produced by Dil Raju, is expected to be a commercial blockbuster.

"Indian 3," originally slated for a quick follow-up, now faces a more uncertain future. The film's prospects have been affected by the lackluster response to "Indian 2," resulting in a subdued market for its sequel.

Lyca Productions and Red Giant Films, the producers of "Indian 3," have agreed to Shankar's revised plans. They will now focus on "Game Changer," hoping to revive the momentum and market interest in "Indian 3" with a strong commercial success.

Shankar's decision reflects the unpredictable nature of the film industry. While he is known for pushing boundaries and creating cinematic spectacles, "Indian 2" proved that even established filmmakers can face challenges. The setback has forced him to re-evaluate his strategies, prioritizing "Game Changer" as a path to reclaim his box office success and pave the way for the future of "Indian 3."
