Kajal Aggarwal out of Shankar’s Indian 2; makers looking to cast Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif? : Bollywood News

On voluntary maternity leave, Kajal Agarwal is apparently no more the leading lady in Kamal Haasan’s next big epic film Indian 2. The Shankar-directed sequel to the 1996 hit has been on the anvil for a while now, awaiting the director and the leading man’s attention. But now with Kamal Haasan’s Vikram doing reasonably well, it is time for the politician-actor to plunge into another big-scale action adventure.

Sources from Chennai say Indian 2 is being planned as the most expensive film of Kamal Haasan’s career. “It is being designed as a pan-India film. The film now needs a big Bollywood actress, like Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif,” says the source.

It would be recalled that the first film in the franchise featured Urmila Matondkar and Manisha Koirala. Indian 2 too is likely to feature two top Bollywood actresses opposite Kamal Haasan.
