The problems surrounding the production of Indian 2 seems to be far from over. Director Shankar and Lyca Productions are already locked in a legal battle, and the untimely death of comedy icon Vivek has further added to the woes of the filmmakers.
According to reports, Shankar has decided to reshoot the scenes of Vivek with a new actor. Last week, Vivek passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest. It was his long time dream to share the screen space with Kamal Haasan, which came to fruition with Indian 2. Unfortunately, the actor passed away before completing his work in the film.
In his response to the plea filed by Lyca Productions at the Madras High Court, director Shankar has said that due to the unfortunate demise of comedy actor Vivek, he needs to reshoot the scenes featuring him.
The Madras High Court has instructed Lyca Productions and Shankar to amicably sort out their indifferences and file their response before April 28.
In the plea, Lyca Productions had said that Shankar shouldn’t begin shooting for his other films before completing the shoot of Indian 2.
We also hear that Kamal Haasan is not in a mood to shoot for the film as he is slowly recuperating from his leg injury and the actor also is said to be unhappy with the delay in the shoot.
