Kamal Haasan's 'Indian 2' release date pushed to avoid clash with Rajamouli's 'RRR'?

Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 is reportedly going to release later in 2021 and not in the Pongal week as previously scheduled. According to a media portal’s report, the Shankar directorial's release date has been postponed to avoid a clash with Rajamouli’s RRR. 

Indian 2’s release date push

Kamal Haasan’s fans might have to wait a bit longer for the release of his much anticipated film. According to a media portal’s report, this Kamal Haasan starrer film will not be releasing on Pongal/Sankranti 2021 as previously planned and Indian 2’s release date has been pushed to Summer 2021.

The media portal’s report further states that this change in release date has been done in order to avoid a major clash at the Box Office. According to the report, Rajamouli’s RRR is also set to release on January 8, 2021, on the occasion of Sankranti/ Pongal. Since the two big-budget movies might affect each other's business, the decision has reportedly been taken to avoid losses. But no official announcement regarding the same has been made so far.

This change in Indian 2’s release date seems to be another major obstacle for the film since the film’s shoot was already delayed due to several reasons. This Shankar directorial recently started its shoot and is reportedly being finished at a good pace. According to the same media portal’s report, Indian 2’s shoot will be wrapped up by October this year.
