Shankar's magnum opus 'Indian 2' started rolling again earlier in August after a break of several months due to various issues. So far in the schedule, Rakul Preet Singh, Siddharth and Priya Bhavani Shankar participated. The hero of the film Kamal Haasan joined the sets and has stunned the crew with his new look which is closely guarded by the crew. It is said that the Ulaganayagan will work regularly on the project barring a couple of days a week to report to the 'Bigg Boss 3' sets that he is hosting.

'Indian 2' produced by Lyca Productions with Anirudh scoring the music has Kamal Haasan, Kajal Agarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Siddharth, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Vidyut Jamwal, Vivek and Bobby Simha in the cast. The release has been planned for Summer 2021.
