Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film “Indian 2” has landed in legal trouble, with a case being filed seeking a ban on the movie. The lawsuit alleges that the film is facing issues, but it’s unclear what specific allegations are being made.
Separately, Kamal Haasan is also facing a breach of contract lawsuit filed by director and producer Lingusamy, along with co-producer Subash Chandra Bose of Thirrupathi Brothers. The producers claim that after the failure of Haasan’s 2015 film “Uttama Villain“, he promised to do a film with them for a budget of Rs 30 crore, but never followed through. They allege Haasan went on to do another film with another banner instead.

Despite these legal issues, “Indian 2” is still scheduled for release on July 12. The sequel to the 1996 blockbuster, it reunites Haasan with director S. Shankar. Shankar has discussed how the film tackles corruption and has a “pan-Indian thought that hasn’t been talked about in any film so far”.
The film Indian 2 recently completed shooting after a long production schedule. It features a large ensemble cast including Kajal Aggarwal, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, Delhi Ganesh and Bobby Simha.
