Indian 3 (also marketed as Indian 3: War Mode) is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language vigilante action thriller film directed by S. Shankar, who co-wrote the script with B. Jeyamohan, Kabilan Vairamuthu and Lakshmi Saravana Kumar. The film was jointly produced by Lyca Productions and Red Giant Movies. It is the third instalment in the Indian film series and the direct sequel to Indian 2 (2024).

Indian 2 was initially intended to be a single film; however, due to the final footage becoming over six hours long, the team later split it into two parts. Principal photography commenced in January 2019 and was shot sporadically over the next four years in Chennai, Rajahmundry, Bhopal, Gwalior, Tirupati, Vijayawada, Johannesburg and Taiwan. Before wrapping in March 2024, a suspension made by an accident that killed some crew members and delay by the COVID-19 pandemic were made. The technical crew includes music composer by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography handled by Ravi Varman and R. Rathnavelu,[b] editing by A. Sreekar Prasad, production design by T. Muthuraj and visual effects supervision by V. Srinivas Mohan.

Main article: Production of Indian 2 and Indian 3

Although Indian 2 was conceived as a single film during production, in June 2023, co-producer Udhayanidhi Stalin, header of Red Giant Movies, stated that they had discussed plans for a sequel to the film.[6] The following month, it was reported that the film would be split into two parts, as the final footage was over six hours long; the latter titled Indian 3, was being shot simultaneously.[7] In October, Ananda Vikatan said around 80% of the footage had been shot for the sequel, and 25 days were needed to complete it.[8] On 24 March 2024, Haasan confirmed the third instalment in the franchise; he stated that Indian 3 was shot alongside Indian 2.[9] In July 2024, it was reported that Indian 3 was undergoing reshoots in response to the negative reviews of its predecessor.[10]

Release

[edit]

The film is scheduled to release in January 2025. Initially, it was planned for a theatrical release; however, owing to the second film's disastrous performance and reviews at the box office, it will be released worldwide on Netflix.[11][12]
