Indian 2 director Shankar opens up on Kamal Haasan’s limited screen time in the film

Kamal Haasan, who most recently starred in the much acclaimed ‘Kalki 2898 AD alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Prabbhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, is one of the finest actors of the industry and has been a part of several projects in Hindi and South cinema industry. His latest film ‘Indian 2’ which is a sequel to the previous hit ‘Indian’ is set to release on July 12, and is getting much praise from the audience already. However, there have been many questions about his role in the film. In fact, in one of the interviews, the actor also mentioned that he said ‘yes’ to the film only because of its third part thus confirming another sequel of the franchise. 

He later clarified that he equally likes the second and third editions but is just also excited about the upcoming part as it has some special and unique things. Now, the filmmaker and the director of the film Shankar spoke about the actor's character Senapathy in the film regarding his limited screen time. He emphasized that what matters is the entire project and not the screen time of every actor.

He said, "The entirety of the film is what matters most. A director considers the film as a whole, and screen time is not a significant factor." Further adding that the actor is there in the entire film. He concluded, "The rumour is entirely untrue. Kamal Haasan Garu will be visible  throughout the film. Even in scenes where he is not physically present, there will be discussions about his character. The entire movie revolves around him. Do not believe these rumours regarding his screentime."

The film also stars Siddharth, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, and Brahmanandam in pivotal roles.
