One of India’s most anticipated sequels and one that arrives almost three decades later, following the 1996 prequel Indian, actor/politician Kamal Haasan is putting his mighty best behind ensuring there is not a false note in the execution or the portrayal of his character in Indian 2. Directed by S. Shankar, the very announcement of the film’s sequel has fans waiting with bated breath as to what the new film entails.
Recently, the actor and the director caught up with each other and saw a few scenes together from the new film. And it seems, Haasan was mighty impressed to the extent that he decided to gift his director with a Panerai Luminor watch, worth an astounding ₹8 Lakhs.
Sharing his excitement through a tweet in Tamil, the actor’s thoughts translate to, “I watched the main scenes of ‘Indian 2’ today. My best wishes @shankarshanmugh My advice is that this should not be your peak. Because this is the highest stage of your artistic life. Don’t take this to the top and be proud. In search of many new heights. dear Kamal Haasan.”
