Kalidas Jayaram does not get opportunities to prove his talent in Malayalam, but it is not the same in Tamil. Kalidas' performance in anthology films like Putham Puthu Kalai, Paava Kathaikal, and most recently in the Kamal Haasan starrer Vikram won applause. Kalidas played the son of Kamal Haasan's title character in Vikram. Now, Kalidas has been cast in another important film. That too with Kamal Haasan.
Indian 2 is the sequel to Shankar-Kamal Hasan's iconic film Indian. Kalidas has joined the ongoing Taiwan schedule of the film. Kalidas has shared a picture of himself with Shankar on Instagram. Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Bobby Simha, Siddharth, Samudharkani, Gugu Somasundaram, Gulshan Grover, and others are in this movie. After a short schedule in Taiwan, the team will travel to South Africa. There will be a month-long shoot. Action scenes are mainly shot there.
Released in 1996, the film was a huge success at the box office and received the best reviews from the audience. Along with Kamal Haasan, Urmila Mandodkar and Manisha Koirala played the lead roles. Kamal also received a national award. After the huge success of Vikram, the arrival of Kamal Haasan's film is increasing the value of Indian 2. The film is produced by Kamal Haasan under the banner of Rajkamal Films, Subhaskaran Alliraja under the banner of Lyca Productions, and Udayanidhi Stalin under the banner of Red Giant Movies. The audience are exited since the announcement of the film.
