Reacting to the question on what made him sign up for the film for its second part after such a long time, he said, “ The biggest inspiration for me to sign up for Hindustani 2 was actually Hindustani 3 (laughs). Without doing Hindustani 2, I can’t go to 3 so I accepted for both.”
“And of course, although I say money is secondary, but it is also important,” he added jokingly.
The Vishwaroopam actor also spilled the beans on not enjoying long-cut movies in theatre situations. Further, Kamal Haasan talked about how he and S Shankar evolved since their last collaboration on Hindustani (Indian).
