Lyca Productions and reports from across Indian media say that Shankar has officially resumed work on “Indian 3,” bringing Kamal Haasan back to star as Senapathy, the ageing vigilante role he played in Shankar’s 1996 film “Indian.” NDTV frames the update as the film’s revival, confirming that Haasan will once again step into the character.
The Times of India adds production and release context, saying filming is expected to pick back up after a roughly two-year pause. It also links the timing to the box office response to “Indian 2,” describing the sequel’s reception as lukewarm. The same outlet reports a target release window of summer 2027 and says Shankar intends to complete “Indian 3” before moving on to his next project, “Velpari,” while Kajal Aggarwal and an ensemble cast are part of the planned lineup.
