Shankar Shanmugam is a prolific filmmaker in Tamil cinema. Known for his extensive use of VFX, he has scored multiple groundbreaking films in a career spanning twenty years. However, he faced a brief setback with the films I (2015) and 2.0 (2018). In pursuit of a comeback, he has gone back to his strong zone: a political thriller with a social message.
He has joined hands with ‘Global Star’ Ram Charan for the first time to deliver the same. Titled ‘Game Changer’, it also features Kiara Advani, S. J. Suryah, Sunil, and Srikanth. Bankrolled by ace producer ‘Dil’ Raju, it is slated for a grand worldwide release in October 2024.
Besides this, Shankar has also collaborated with ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Hassan for a two-part vigilante series. Titled ‘Indian-2’ and ‘Indian-3’, they are the second and third installments in the Indian (1996) franchise respectively. While the former is headed for a release on July 12, 2024, the latter will hit screens in January 2025.
All in all, the upcoming six to eight months are going to be crucial for this legendary filmmaker. I hope he delivers three back-to-back blockbusters and shuts up the haters.
