Annaatthe

In March 2020, it was announced that the Rajinikanth-starrer Annaatthe will be in theatres for Pongal 2021. However, concerns over the safety of the 70-year-old superstar did not allow the makers to resume production. In the second week of December 2020, Rajinikanth started shooting for the movie, hoping to finish his portions in a single stretch. A few days later, the shooting was stopped after a COVID outbreak on the set.

Vikram

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Kamal Haasan have joined forces for Vikram. They are yet to begin shooting for the film. However, if all things go according to plan, the action flick, which is said to be the sequel to Kamal’s 1986 spy-thriller of the same name, will hit theatres this year.

Cobra

The makers of Cobra had originally planned to release the film in the summer of 2020. However, the movie was not completed due to the pandemic. Production for the film, however, is underway. Helmed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, Cobra stars Vikram in the lead role. It is said that the film will show Vikram in more than 20 different looks. Cobra also stars director KS Ravikumar, Srinidhi Shetty, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan, Mrinalini, Kanika, Padmapriya and Babu Antony.

Indian 2

The sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Indian is easily one of the most-awaited movies of 2021. The Shankar directorial brings back Kamal Haasan’s sensational character Senapathy, an aged vigilante with uncanny skills. The production of the movie came to a halt before the outbreak of the virus after an accident on the set. A crane with heavy-duty lights came crashing down on the set killing three people and injuring many in February 2020. There is still no update on when the makers will resume production.
