Indian 3 on OTT? A Major Blow to Shankar’s Reputation
Releasing a film directly on an OTT platform doesn’t necessarily diminish its value. But when a director of Shankar’s caliber opts to skip a theatrical release. It certainly disappoints fans who have long cherished his epic cinematic experiences. Shankar, regarded as one of India’s top filmmakers, is known for delivering visually spectacular movies designed for the big screen.
However, in recent years, Shankar’s reputation seems to have taken a hit. His latest film, Indian 2 starring Kamal Haasan, faced significant criticism and trolling—something the acclaimed director has rarely encountered in his career. Now, rumors are circulating that Indian 3, the sequel to Indian 2. May bypass theaters entirely and debut on Netflix early next year.
Indian 3 on OTT? A Major Blow to Shankar’s Reputation
While there’s no official confirmation regarding Indian 3‘s release, the speculation alone has left many of Shankar’s loyal fans feeling disappointed. Shankar’s last major success came in 2010 with Enthiran (Robo), and since then, his films have struggled to recapture the magic that once made him a household name.
During promotions for Indian 2, Kamal Haasan expressed his excitement for Indian 3, hinting at bigger things to come. However, Shankar’s upcoming project, Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, is set to release in December. The performance and reception of this film could significantly influence the decision on how Indian 3 will be released.
While it remains to be seen if Indian 3 will follow the traditional theatrical route or make its debut on OTT, fans are hoping for a resurgence of the vintage Shankar, with all the grandeur and spectacle that made his films unforgettable.
