Kamal Haasan in Thuppakki sequel?

According to a report by The Hans India, Vijay and the director of Thuppakki AR Murugadoss were supposed to join forces for the fourth time. The actor-director duo has previously worked on three movies Thuppakki, Kathi and Sarkar. However, their fourth project together got shelved and Vijay started Nelson Dilipkumar’s project. The report revealed that this movie which was shelved is none other than the Thuppakki sequel. As Vijay started Nelson Dilipkumar’s project, rumour has it that legendary actor Kamal Haasan will be starring in the Thuppakki sequel replacing Vijay in the lead role. However, there is no official confirmation about the same from the makers as well as the actors. This speculation of Kamal Haasan replacing Vijay in the Thuppakki cast has surely left the fans surprised.
