Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 recently went on floors but the makers are yet to reveal the name of the main antagonist. While we heard reports of director Shankar approaching Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar for this big project, seems like Abhishek Bachchan has in fact bagged the honours. Yes, recent reports in Mid-Day suggest that Jr Bachchan has given his nod to this Kamal Haasan starrer and he'll start shooting for it very soon. Though no official confirmation about the same is made yet, there are chances that Abhishek may mark his debut in Tamil cinema with Indian 2. Yea, this sounds damn exciting and we hope we get to see Kamal Haasan's collaboration with Jr B very soon. Indian 2 New Poster Gives Us a Proper Look of Kamal Haasan’s ‘Older, Wiser, Deadlier’ Senapathi – View Pic.

Though Ajay Devgn was keen on coming on board for this movie, his tight schedule didn't allow him to go ahead with it. Later Akshay Kumar, who was a part of Shankar's 2.0 with Rajinikanth was also in news for the same reason. However, with Abhishek's name coming in the picture, we are pretty sure that Mr Khiladi's association was just a rumour and there was nothing concrete behind it. Koffee With Karan 6: Abhishek Bachchan Bullied Karan Johar During His Teens But Here's Who Came To The Rescue.

Indian 2 will also be Kamal Haasan's last project before he retires from the entertainment industry to focus on his political career. And the same reason makes this project a bit more special for all his fans and admirers. And if the Manmarziyaan actor does come on board to play the antagonist opposite Haasan's Senapathi, it will only give us another reason to go ahead and watch it first day, first show.
