Talking about the third installment of the Kamal Haasan starrer, Shankar said, “Part one was happening in one state, and it was around 3 h 20 mins. Now, since the story is no longer limited to one state, naturally, it's a little big. When I was editing, it was lengthy, and I wanted to trim it.”

Adding to the audience's excitement, he also revealed his plans to release Indian 3. “I am planning to release Indian 3 (Hindustani 2) within 6 months of the second part if everything goes as planned,” Shankar added.

Further, the Kadhalan director also spilled beans about how the audience can expect to see flashbacks or period portions in part 3 of the Indian franchise.
