Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan was last seen on screen in Vishwaroopam 2 and since then had been occupied with the election campaigning and political activities related to his party Makkal Needhi Maiam, and only recently had shot for the promo of third season of Bigg Boss.

His most anticipated project, Indian 2 directed by Shankar, which happens to be the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Indian was launched in January and the first look posters turned viral raising the anticipation. However the shoot was getting delayed and there were rumours of producers Lyca backing out of the project.

An official announcement is expected soon. Indian 2 also stars Kajal Aggarwal and Delhi Ganesh.
