Grapevine has it that Bollywood star Ajay Devgn is collaborating with Southern superstar Kamal Haasan. As we know that Haasan had announced a sequel to his immensely popular film, Indian, during the grand finale of Bigg Boss Tamil season 1, and now he is finally gearing up to begin work on the same.
While the superstar plays the male lead himself in Indian 2, there is a scope for a parallel lead as well for which he wants to cast Ajay Devgn. “He wants Ajay to play a top cop in the sequel,” a source revealed to an Indian daily.
It looks like that by bringing Ajay on-board, the makers want to cash in on his huge popularity in the Hindi belt. If the actor agrees to do the film, it will definitely have a bigger opening in Hindi speaking territories where Kamal does not have any stronghold.
Indian 2 is expected to go on floors in the second half of the year because director Shankar, who has been entrusted with the responsibility of helming the sequel, is currently busy with his another film, 2.0.
Indian, which released in 1996, was an instant hit at the box office. The film won three National Films Awards, including an award for Kamal Haasan in the Best Actor category. Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar were the leading ladies of the movie.
