Shankar celebrated his 60th birthday with his friends from the film industry. It includes Chiyaan Vikram, Ram Charan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Vetrimaaran, Sasi, Lokesh Kanagaraj, Lingusamy, Vignesh Shivan, Karthik Subbaraj, SJ Suryah, Gopichand Malineni, Thamans S and others.

On the work front, Shankar has wrapped up the talkie portions of 'Indian 2' with Kamal Haasan but is still left with some songs and patchwork shoots. The post-production work for the movie has been going on simultaneously. Meanwhile, the filming for the Ram Charan starrer 'Game Changer' is racing towards the finish line. Shankar is using his old assistant directors to speed up the filming.
