> Kamal Haasan's upcoming film "Indian 2" is slated for release during the Pongal festival early next year.

The highly-anticipated patriotic drama, "[Indian 2](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/indian-2)" from the stalwart Kollywood actor-director duo [Kamal Haasan](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/kamal-haasan) and Shankar, is slated for release during the Pongal festival early next year. This announcement has sent waves across the industry, as "[Indian 2](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/indian-2)" is expected to pose a significant threat to other high-budget Pongal releases such as [Mahesh Babu](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/mahesh-babu)'s 28th film, Prabhas' "[Project K](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/project-k)," and [Suriya](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/suriya-sivakumar)'s 42nd film.

"[Indian 2](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/indian-2)" (Bharatheeyudu in Telugu) is the second installment in the Indian franchise, with the first movie becoming a huge blockbuster upon its release in 1996. [Kamal Haasan](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/kamal-haasan)'s vigilante character in the first movie attained a cult status. The "[Indian 2](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/indian-2)" makers recently wrapped up a crucial shooting schedule in Taiwan and have now moved on to Johannesburg, South Africa, for yet another key schedule.

The film features [Kajal Aggarwal](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/kajal-aggarwal), [Siddharth](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/siddharth-narayan), [Rakul Preet](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/rakul-preet-singh), and [Priya Bhavani Shankar](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/priya-bhavani-shankar) in pivotal roles and is produced by Lyca Productions.
