Michael Westmore is once again said to be a part of Indian 2 and has done the makeover for Kamal Haasan in the film, which is jointly being produced by Lyca Productions and Red Giant Movies. A. R. Rahman, on the other hand, has been announced to be a part of Kamal Haasan's prestigious KH 234, which marks the actor's big reunion with ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam after 35 years since their Nayakan (1987). The hit composer also has in his lineup films like Sivakarthikeyan's Ayalaan coming out this Diwali in November, followed by Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn's period sports film Maidaan, while recently also being announced to be joining hands with two-time National Award-winning Tamil actor Dhanush and Hindi filmmaker Aanand L. Rai for Tere Ishk Mein after their Raanjhanaa (2013) and Atrangi Re (2021).
