Earlier today, a big announcement regarding the sequel to Shankar’s iconic hit film Bharateeyudu was officially announced on the eve of Dussehra. Star Telugu producer Dil Raju is going to pool money bags for this crazy project which will be made as a bilingual in Telugu and Tamil. Though reasons are not known, Shankar is very particular on a Telugu producer to come on board for this project.

Sources say that Shankar initially approached Baahubali producers to back this big budget project. But, they were not interested to spend such a high budget that is on par with Shankar’s previous films. They don’t have the same comfort with other directors that they have with Rajamouli So they were never interested

With Baahubali producers turning down Shankar’s offer, Dil Raju decided to take up the project.

The regular shooting will commence towards the end of next year. The film has been titled Indian 2.
