At a time when everyone says Kamal Haasan would say bye to acting having entered active politics, the actor went on to announce his next project Thevar Magan 2.
Addressing media in Chennai, Kamal Haasan said, “Thevar Magan 2 need not be my last film.”
Thevar Magan, a 1992 blockbuster touched upon several issues like casteism, illiteracy and untouchability. On Monday, the actor said that the sequel will speak against all castes and would deal with it.
“I named the film as Thevar Magan 2 for the audience to connect with it. However, the title will not be Thevar Magan 2. We will have a different title. I am against caste and religion, and so will this film,” he added.
Thevar Magan was India’s official entry at Academy awards for Best Foreign Language Film for the year 1992. Kamal Haasan portrayed Sakthivel, the youngest son of the village head Periya Thevar played by the thespian Sivaji Ganesan.
Meanwhile, Kamal’s Indian 2 will go on floors this December and will release in 2020.
