On the movie front he is gearing up to start shooting for 'Indian 2' directed by Shankar in mid December and has also announced that he will also do the sequel to his mega hit 'Devar Magan' that starred Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan alongside him.

There was sever backlash in political circles regarding Kamal titling his film based on a caste for 'Devar Magan 2'. Kamal has explained that he said the title so that people can easily understand which movie's sequel or remake he is doing.
