Three Blockbuster releases may be put on hold till June

With election fever gripping the state, Kamal Haasan has been campaigning vigorously for his party Makkal Needhi Maiyyam. Apart from Bigg Boss, the actor-politician has put all his film plans on hold until the election is over. “Kamal Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram will go on floors only after May. Though he has Indian 2 apart from Vikram, Kamal has given his call sheet immediately for this project which will be bankrolled by his home banner and not Indian 2,” a reliable source told DT Next. Another tinsel town source said that Indian 2 is facing yet another financial hurdle. “There are hearsays that the project has been temporarily put on hold and will not resume anytime in the third quarter of 2021. The project has been stuck in a financial muddle and Lyca Productions has to take a call on it,” the source told us.

The good news is that Annaatthe will certainly happen. However, fans of Superstar Rajinikanth might have to wait for a few more months. “What was initially a Pongal 2021 release will now hit the screens for Deepavali 2021.The shoot of the film will resume without Rajini in Hyderabad. He is expected to be back on the shooting floor only after getting vaccinated or after the elections in May,” the source added
