Despite the massive failure of Indian 2, the sequel to the classic blockbuster Indian (1997), the team is moving forward with Indian 3. The latest news confirms that pre-production work is in progress, and the film will soon go on sets. With more than 80% of the shooting already completed, the team cannot abandon the project, having invested huge amounts of money. Reportedly, around 30 days of shooting are pending to complete the third installment of the Indian franchise.
The makers are discussing the pending shoot and are working on pre-production and scripting. Kamal Haasan and Shankar are compromising on their remunerations and the shoot to ensure the film's completion. The team has decided to skip a planned song in the film to minimize costs. Despite the failure of Indian 2 and Shankar's current tough phase, a well-received Indian 3 could still attract audiences to theaters.
Given the massive failure of Indian 2, the team is adopting a more cautious approach to Indian 3's production. The film will be completed with a tight budget, avoiding rich sets or grand locations. Kamal Haasan and Shankar's decision to compromise on their remunerations demonstrates their commitment to completing the project. With a more restrained approach, the team aims to minimize losses and potentially generate positive word-of-mouth.
As the Indian franchise has a dedicated fan base, a well-made Indian 3 could still redeem the series. With Kamal Haasan and Shankar at the helm, fans are hoping for a return to form. As the film gears up for production, audiences will be watching closely to see if Indian 3 can revive the franchise's former glory.
