Indian series has been one of the most anticipated sequels in recent times. The sequel of Indian, ‘Indian 2’ featuring Kamal Hassan, Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, SJ Suryah was released recently. In the film, Senapathy returns to India from abroad after over two decades to aid a group in dealing with corruption in the country. Due to its length of over six hours, the film was split into two parts, with the latter titled Indian 3: War mode being aimed for release in 2025. Indian 3 makers aren’t ready for the risk?
Indian 3 makers aren’t ready:
The makers of “Indian 3” have decided to release the film directly on Netflix. Considering the box office performance of “Indian 2”. Despite the high expectations and the return of Kamal Haasan as the iconic character Senapathy, “Indian 2” did not perform as well as anticipated in theatres. This has led the producers to reconsider their strategy for the third instalment.
“Indian 2,” directed by Shankar, was a highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 blockbuster “Indian.” However, the film’s reception and box office collections fell short of expectations. In light of this, the decision to release “Indian 3” on an OTT platform like Netflix is seen as a safer bet, ensuring a wider audience reach without the financial risks associated with a theatrical release.
This move reflects a growing trend in the film industry, where digital releases are becoming more common, especially for high-budget films that may not guarantee box office success. Fans of the franchise can still look forward to the continuation of Senapathy’s story, albeit on a different platform. The shift to Netflix is expected to provide a more accessible viewing experience for a global audience.
