After the failure of Indian 2, will Indian 3 skip its theatrical release? What we know

Indian 2, starring Kamal Haasan, received lukewarm response at the box office after its release in July this year. It was one of the most anticipated films of this year. It was a sequel to the hit film Indian, which premiered in 1996. After 28 years, the sequel of this film has come to the fore, helmed by renowned director Shankar. The sequel to Indiana starred SJ Suryah, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Rakul Preet Singh, Bobby Simha, Siddharth and Samuthirakani in the lead roles, except Kamal Haasan who played the lead role. Due to the negative response, the makers have reportedly decided to skip the theatrical release of Indian 3. They are planning to release the third part of the film on the OTT platform.

The negative reviews for Indian 2 didn’t help the film’s scale. Due to the boring performance, the makers have reportedly decided to go for a direct OTT release for Indian 3, the third installment of the Vigilante series. As per reports, this move was decided due to Indian 2’s disappointing performance and pre-existing deal with the OTT platform.

The film was made under the banner of Lyca Productions, which is famous for handling high-budget films. The production house is known to be facing several delays in its projects. While this may come as a surprise to many in the Kollywood industry, some insiders suggest that skipping Indian 3’s theatrical release is a well-considered decision taken by everyone associated with the project.

Indian 2 is one of the biggest flops of this year. The production house does everything to bring the project to life and strive for success. Recent events point to an uncertain and bleak future for the Indian franchise. The makers are yet to confirm the release of the film on OTT.

Indian 2 is currently streaming on Netflix. It was released on August 9. Made on a budget of Rs 300 crore, the film collected Rs 151 crore worldwide.
