Why Rajinikanth wants Indian 3 to be released ? He has agreed to do a film for Lyca Productions to compensate for the loss incurred over Lal Salaam . Now Lyca cannot proceed without getting Indian 3 released. After Thug Life, Kamal feels Indian 3 has the chances of a winner. So Shankar who is now without any production house backing him for his Velpari needs a Indian 3.
Director S.
Shankar’s last two films, Indian 2 and Game
Changer, have both flopped. Despite having A-list stars, massive budgets,
and impressive pre-release hype and promotions, both films crashed and burned.
The production house behind Indian 2 and Indian 3 is Lyca Productions, which is currently facing its own
financial troubles.
Naturally,
the production house seems to be insisting on lowering the budget for Indian 3.
However, Shankar has been firm in his demand for a production budget of 6 to 8
crores to complete the remaining portions. If this were before 2024, when these
two flops had not yet occurred, the production house might have agreed to the
budget. But considering the performance of Indian 2, this demand is seen as
excessive.
What is
the role of Rajinikanth here
Rajinikanth is
acting as a mediator in this ordeal. He has worked with both the director and
the production house on 2.0, which was released back in 2018. Additionally,
Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan are good friends. As a result of these
relationships, Rajinikanth met with Shankar to convince him to proceed with a
reduced budget. Latest news is that Shankar has agreed to Lyca’s amount and if
everything goes right, the film will release for Christmas.

Vijay has been unbeatable since 2017. In 2017, Mersal earned
around 23.8 crore gross, creating an all-time record in the
state. It was followed by another record opening with Sarkar in 2018, which
earned 31.75 crore gross. After Sarkar, Beast delivered the
biggest opening.
Beast has
the highest day 1 collection in Tamil Nadu
Beast is
currently the biggest opener at the Tamil Nadu box office. Released in 2022,
the film earned a mind-blowing 35 crore gross. Even Leo,
despite a huge hype, failed to beat it and opened at around 34 crore gross.
But now, it seems that Beast will finally be dethroned, and Coolie is likely to
capture its position.
Rajinikanth
is likely to seize the throne with Coolie
Now,
with Coolie enjoying
crazy hype in Tamil Nadu, Rajinikanth has a chance to dethrone Vijay’s Beast
from the top spot. Rajini’s last record opener was Kabali, which earned 19.1
crore gross at the box office in 2016. It remained at the top spot for
a year and was dethroned by Mersal.
So,
Rajinikanth has an opportunity to seize the throne in Tamil Nadu after 8 years,
and the task is likely to be accomplished on August 14.
