Indian 2 box office: Kamal Haasan's film sees massive drop in collection

<p>Kamal Haasan's highly-anticipated movie of the year <em>Indian 2 </em>is in the theatres. Directed by S&nbsp;Shankar and co-written by B&nbsp;Jeyamohan, the movie is a sequel to the 1996 hit film that starred Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar.&nbsp;</p>

Indian 2 teaser: Kamal Haasan is back as powerful Senapathy to end corruption

<p>The Madras High Court has said that actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan can appear before the Central Crime branch Office, instead of the Indian 2 crane accident site at EVP Film City. He had approached the court for urgent relief, alleging harassment from the police. Cops had summoned 24 film crew members, including Haasan to appear at the ancient site on Wednesday morning, for a probe into the tragic crane accident that claimed three lives and injured 10 people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kamal had complained that the police were acting under political pressure, forcing him to re-enact the accident scene and that it was causing him mental trauma. He maintains that he had cooperated with the Police investigation for over three hours on March 3rd and that he wouldn’t be able to visit the accident spot, when he still hadn’t gotten over the tragedy and ensuing trauma.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Police had mentioned that Kamal Haasan, director Shankar and 22 others were issued summons to appear at the accident spot, as they were eye-witnesses in this case. They also emphasized that Kamal Haasan could not be exempt because he was the lead actor in the film and that there wouldn’t be any law and order issues in having the actor appear on-location. Police have clarified that they were merely following procedure and did not harbor political motives.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After appearing before the police on March 3, Haasan said that it was his duty towards his deceased brethren to appear before the police and share the details regarding the accident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to reporters on March 3rd, the actor had said, “The Commissioner’s Office wanted to seek details about the incident that took place that day. I was one among those who survived that accident. I have explained to the police to the extent that I have known. This is the first step to prevent such accidents from occurring in the future.”</p>

<p>In a late-night crane accident on February 19th, at the EVP Film City on the outskirts of Chennai, three technicians had died and ten others were injured. &nbsp;Assistant Director Krishna, Art Assistant Chandran and Production Assistant Madhu had died in the accident.</p>

<p>A day after the accident, Hassan had expressed disappointment and embarrassment at how the film industry could boast of 100cr and 200cr collections but failed to provide basic security for the personnel on set. He also recalled that director Shankar, actor Kajal Aggarwal and himself were among those who had a narrow escape on that fateful night.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kamal Haasan had earlier announced temporary financial assistance of Rs.1 crore for the bereaved families, while the producer Subaskaran had offered Rs.2 crore monetary aid.</p>

Kamal Haasan appears before Chennai Police over probe on crane crash on the sets of ‘Indian 2’ that killed 3

<p>Actor Kamal Haasan has expressed disappointment and shame at the film industry’s inability to provide insurance and safety for technicians, after a tragic crane accident on the sets of his film<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/crane-accident-on-sets-of-kamal-haasans-indian-2-leaves-3-dead-9-others-injured-281699"> ‘Indian 2’ claimed three lives</a> and injured around ten others. Reports emerged late Wednesday night that an accident had occurred on sets of Kamal Haasan-starrer, 'Indian 2', which was being filmed by director Shankar at EVP Film city on the outskirts of Chennai.</p>

<p>The Production Company Lyca Productions had issued a message condoling the death of three of their technicians - Assistant Director Krishna, Art Assistant Chandran and Production Assistant Madhu.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kamal Haasan had visited the Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital to pay homage to his deceased colleagues. Speaking to the media, Haasan said, “I’m in this profession from my childhood, and this unfortunate accident goes on to show the lack of safety in our profession. This morning as I was speaking to my friends, we discussed that the cinema industry must take measures to prevent such accidents. It is really saddening that our cinema industry speaks highly about 100cr and 200cr club but can't provide safety for our workers. As an individual, this causes me great embarrassment and disappointment.”</p>

<p>The actor also announced that he was offering temporary assistance of 1 crore rupees each for the bereaved families. “This sum I have announced is not a solatium or compensation, it's only to help their families cope with the times ahead. It is more like a small token of help, but in the long run, we as an industry must ensure that there would be insurance during future shootings. This is not a request but a responsibility. Nowhere in India, there is safety compliance in any field. We are a high profile industry so when accidents happen it gets a high profile in the media. Actually the victims could be anybody, irrespective of rich or poor”, Haasan added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor also recalled that he was in an accident three years ago, how difficult it was to recover. He pointed out that the families of two of the three deceased were from lesser fortunate backgrounds.</p>

<p>The veteran actor recollected how himself, actor Kajal Aggarwal and director Shankar too had a narrow escape. Recalling those harrowing moments, the veteran actor said, “Four seconds before the accident, the director and cameraman moved away from that spot. Kajal and I were under the tent which got crushed. Had I moved two inches away from my place, someone else would have been talking to you today and I could have been in the mortuary. There are accidents waiting to happen and we should see that they do not happen."</p>

<p>Earlier in the day, Haasan had tweeted, “even if we have seen and overcome many accidents and disasters, this one is extremely painful. I have lost three colleagues and am grief stricken, but their families’ sorrow would be manyfold. As one among their family I Share the grief. Condolences. I have met those injured, in the hospital and had a word with the doctors. Adequate treatment is being provided after first aid. Hoping that they all recover soon.”</p>

3 men were killed and 9 others were left injured in a crane accident on Wednesday on the sets of Kamal Haasan's upcoming film 'Indian 2'. The film is being shot at EVP Film City near Chennai. According to police, the men were seated in the box-like structure on top of the crane when it crashed. "It appears they were working on lighting for the shoot. The incident happened at 9:30 pm on Wednesday," a police officer told a daily. The film, directed by Shankar, is a sequel of 1996 hit film 'Indian'. The deceased have been identified as Madhu, personal assistant to director Shankar, Krishna, assistant director, and a staffer Chandran. It is not clear yet if the director was present on the set when the accident took place. Kamal Haasan was reportedly at another location in the same complex during the time of the accident. Terming the incident as 'cruel', Kamal Haasan said, "I lost three colleagues. More than my pain, the grief of their families would be immense. I share their sorrow. My deep condolences to them." The film's leading heroine, Kajal Aggarwal was visibly shaken by the incident. Aggarwal was on the set when the mishap took place as she tweeted, "Words cannot describe the heartache I feel at the unexpected,untimely loss of my colleagues from lastnight.Krishna,Chandran and Madhu.Sending love,strength and my deepest condolences to your families.May god give strength in this moment of desolation. #Indian2" In another tweet, the actress wrote,"In so much shock, denial, trauma from the monstrous crane accident last night. All it took was a fraction of a second to stay alive and type this tweet. Just that one moment. Gratitude. So much learning and appreciation for the value of time and life."

Vijay Sethupathi to play negative character in Kamal Haasan's 'Indian 2'?

<p>Kamal Haasan starrer ‘Indian 2’ which was to see the actor reunite with director Shankar after a gap of 23 years, might not happen after all.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reports suggest that director Shankar and producers Lyca Productions are having differences now regarding the budget of the film and the producers are on the verge of backing out of the project. The project might get shelved as the producers are not keen on investing a huge amount on this film too.&nbsp;</p>

<p>They had bankrolled Shankar's previous film ‘2.0’ which was one of the bigger hits. However, Lyca does not seem too keen on spending a similar amount on ‘Indian 2’.&nbsp;</p>

'Indian 2' first look: Kamal Haasan all set to play Senapathy on the big screen again

<p>If media reports are to be believed, Kamal Haasan is expected to commence work on his next film ‘Indian 2’. His last film <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kamal-haasans-film-vishwaroopam-2-releases-across-india-with-much-fanfare-158301">‘Vishwaroopam’</a> failed to create magic at the box office, and now the megastar hopes that he will be able to do something different with Shankar’s next film.</p>

<p>Bankrolled by Lyca Productions, ‘Indian 2’ has a huge budget to its advantage.</p>

<p>Last month on Kamal’s 64th birthday, Lyca Productions announced the project via a video on its official channel.</p>

While she didn’t mention the name of the film, we are guessing its Shankar’s as Kamal hasn't signed any other.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kamal will return as octogenarian vigilante Senapathy in the film, which will commence from December 14.</p>

<p>It is said that Kamal will work closely with a team of international trainers to shed weight in the highly anticipated sequel to 1992 blockbuster ‘Indian’, which featured Haasan in dual roles as father and son.</p>

<p>This film will have music by Anirudh Ravichander who is also composing for Rajinikanth's ‘Petta’.</p>
