S. Shankar Interview | "Hindustani 3 has a solid period portion” | Game Changer | Indian 2 | SRK

In the newest episode of the Pinkvilla Masterclass, S Shankar opens up about Hindustani 2 and the idea of turning the franchise into trilogy. The maverick filmmaker goes back in time when he thought of creating his own vigilante cinematic universe by bringing together Kamal Haasan as Senapathy, Rajinikanth as Sivaji, and Vikram as Aparichit. S Shankar also shares that his next could be either a period drama, spy thriller, or sci-fi with underwater elements. The legendary filmmaker gives an update on Ram Charan’s next, Game Changer, and a probable feature film with Shah Rukh Khan.

Should Shankar direct a two-hero film Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan?

[@TharakMehta-q3b]

He should direct ANNIYAN 2 ASAP with CHIYAN VIKRAM ❤ ONLY

[@EufkarRisto-bq1ui]

Don’t need to do big budget movie with kamal and rajini. Just a good cop story! Thriller would be a trend setter in the industry !
