In this event…
Actor Siddharth said…
‘This is a huge stage, both Kamal Haasan sir and Shankar sir have created this stage with their hard work. I am honored to be on this stage, for a second chance after 25 years, to act with my guru, Shankar sir has given me this opportunity. Thanks to him. Kamal Sir, I have seen him in my dreams since childhood. Now I see it in person every day and it is a great privilege. It was my greatest honor to act with him. Thank you Shankar Sir for both the opportunities.This movie will be a complete film that speaks the true face of corruption. It will be a film that everyone will like.’
Director Shankar said…
‘When Indian was created, I gave Thota Dharani a picture of Kamal Saro, father with him, brother, and asked her to make a sketch to create the character of the army chief.The sketch was thrilling to watch. Goosebumps came when she appeared in make-up in the first film, now when she comes in make-up again in this film, the same thrill came. It cannot be said in words. When you see him in the shoot, it doesn’t look like Kamal sir, it looks like some Indian grandfather is with us. He lived as an Indian grandfather. You will get the same feeling while watching the film. I never thought that I would make a 2nd part when I was shooting Indian, when it was necessary, I had given a birthday to Indian grandfather, but now there is a controversy about his age while shooting the film. The way I look at it is that there was a 118 year old martial arts fighter in China who still fought hard at that age, the James Bond original is over 100 but we don’t see it all, the same way the Indian grandfather is a feeling. I hope fans will enjoy it. When Indian part 1 came out, the prosthetic makeup was not that advanced, so it was very dark. But in this film, we told the company that the make-up should be light. So you can see Kamal sir acting better. Initially, this film was to be made by someone else, but after hearing the story, Subhaskaran said that I will produce it myself, only a company like Lyca can make a film like Indian.Subhaskaran Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Red Giant. The Indian film is set in Tamil Nadu but it is an all India story, we have shot in many states all over India. I hope the fans will enjoy it.’
Actor Kamal Haasan said…
‘The interest in making this film at this age came from them. The encouragement given by all the artists is what drives me. Apart from the positives, there were many hiccups during the shooting of this film. We are suffering so much but will this hard work go to the fans? I was hesitant, but glad it’s joining now. Many of the co-workers are no more and this film has come to this after many such incidents. Glad to say everyone is doing well now. They have said that they captured the image on the sensor. It’s still fun. When it comes to making Indian films, the high budget is said to be a drawback, but now compared to this film, it is nothing. Shankar has made this film in such a grand manner. All the artists and stars have worked hard and created with full enthusiasm. Vivek’s words are still echoing in my mind. I believe in all this hard work. The director will say OK only after carefully examining the pen and clothes used by the Indian grandfather. He has made everything that he was dreaming about come true. But more than that, Shankar has written the screenplay very well. He has a lot to surprise the fans. The film will amaze you all’.
