Will Shankar find stars and producers for Velpari?
on Jul 12, 2025
Director Shankar fell from being the most sought-after filmmaker to a career low with his Indian 2 and Game Changer. Now, he is unable to convince his producers to finish Indian 3 as there is no hype or buzz around it to really take it forward.
Shankar for the first time in his career, decided to make two films at the same time and even can call as 3, and this backfired big time. His I, 2.0 did not satisfy everyone but still recovered investment to some extent. But Indian 2 and Game Changer have ended up being such debacles that his career will end up in doldrums.
The director recently announced at an event that he would be using Avatar kind of techncial advancement in his next film, Velpari. The movie is based on a novel written by S. Venkatesan based on a true Tamil King from Sangam period and a close friend of poet Kabilar.
Superstar Rajinikanth also stated that he would be waiting to watch it, who was present at the same event. Shankar went on to state that Velpari is his second dream project after Enthiran. But the problem lies in his present form compared to form he was in while making Enthiran/ Robo.
The twin disasters and unreleased Indian 3 have left such a mark on his career that even if he tries to find a big financier for Velpari, he might have to convince three to four stars to star in it, as it would be demanding Rs.500-800 crores budget at least for one part. He did plan it as two to three part film.
We have to wait and see, if Shankar can find a way to navigate through these failures and bring a star cast that would mesmerise audiences to watch this Magnum Opus on big screens in theatres again.
