Once celebrated as a renowned director known for his successful films enjoyed across India, Shankar is now under fire for managing several projects at once. His failure to communicate effectively and the delays in completing his films have damaged his once-pristine reputation, sparking criticism from both fans and industry experts.
The anticipation for the sequel to the blockbuster Indian 2 starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Shankar is sky-high as the film gears up for a theatrical release on June 13. However, fans are left disheartened as the film crew remains silent on promotions, causing uncertainty and frustration among moviegoers.
Originally, plans were in place for an audio launch event with esteemed guests like Ram Charan and Rajinikanth, but the lack of updates has left fans in the dark about when, or if, it will happen. Moreover, delays in post-production work and pending patchwork have added to concerns about the film’s release date. Despite the star-studded cast, including Kajal Aggarwal and a lineup of talented actors, the absence of promotional activities from Shankar has left fans feeling neglected. With only 40 days left for the scheduled release date, the absence of marketing efforts has raised doubts about the film’s success. Many believe that the success of the first installment warrants a robust promotional campaign for the sequel, which is currently lacking.
The disappointment extends beyond Indian 2 to another project helmed by Shankar, titled Game Changer, which has been in production for nearly three years. Despite the anticipation from fans, there has been little to no update on its progress or release date, leading to further frustration and disillusionment.
Shankar, once hailed as an iconic pan-Indian director with a string of hits to his name, is now facing criticism for his handling of multiple projects simultaneously. The lack of communication and delays in production have tarnished his reputation, leading to backlash from fans and industry observers alike. Fans, especially those of Kamal Haasan and Ram Charan, express frustration over Shankar’s handling of the these two films.
