Legendary actor Kamal Haasan is set to bring forth his iconic movie Indian 2 aka Hindustani 2 to theaters worldwide on July 12, 2024. In an exclusive Pinkvilla Masterclass, the actor was asked whether he would do an outright Hindi film once again, like his classics Chachi 420, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, and more.
In response, Kamal Haasan said, “That’s what I’m convincing Mr. Mani Ratnam to do with Thug Life. We are halfway through it but I think I can convince him. If that happens, it will be a unique experiment where after midway we decide to make it in another language. Let’s see, I can’t speak without his collaboration.”
Kamal Haasan sheds light on new films in India
Kamal Haasan continues to say, “I think now, thanks to telecommunication and OTT, the nation is coagulating into one. So language is not a big problem now and cinema has its own language. You cannot anymore parochially divide cinema into 22 parts, it's all one part and you’ll understand that’s why Chaplin works for a boy from Paramakudi.”
