'Indian 2' makers contemplating to release Kamal Haasan starrer in two parts?

Though only 60 per cent of Indian 2's shooting is complete, the makers of the Kamal Haasan starrer reportedly have six hours long content for editing. The report further reveals that since the film is shot elaborately, the makers are contemplating releasing the Kamal Haasan starrer in two parts, just like the Baahubali series. The makers of Indian 2 reportedly started editing the Kamal Haasan starrer last week after the Tamil Nadu government gave the nod to start the production process. 

Indian 2, starring Kamal Haasan and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead went on-floor last year. However, the shooting was perturbed due to an accident that occurred on the sets. Later, the pandemic caused a delay in the shoot of Indian 2, which also led to speculations claiming that the Kamal Haasan starrer has been shelved. However, the makers of the upcomer, recently, cleared the air and revealed that the movie is on track and will resume its shoot soon after the lockdown ends.
