About Indian 2
Work on the film had come to a grinding halt after a mishap while shooting the film left three people dead and over 10 injured. The accident left everybody involved rattled with Shankar, Lyca and Kamal Haasan announcing financial aid to the families of those killed in the mishap. When attempts to restart shooting were made, Covid struck and the project had to be put on the backburner. To add to this, there were disagreements between the director, actor and producers. Now, all differences of opinion seem to have been sorted out and shooting has resumed.
