Kamal Haasan and Shankar reunited after more than two decades for the sequel Indian 2, which hit theatres recently. However, the film did not get a positive reception from audience, and drew criticism for its writing and screenplay, with many comparing how the film did not serve justice as a follow-up to the 1996 iconic film Indian.
Now, actor Bobby Simha, who has acted in a pivotal role in Indian 2, addressed the negative reception. Read on further to know what the actor got to say about the reviews.
Bobby Simha on Indian 2’s negative reviews
Bobby Simha opened up about the negative reviews that Indian 2 received upon its release. Speaking about this, in a recent interview, the actor said, "Everyone thinks themselves as intelligent. If someone is good, people think that they might appear as fool if they say it's good. So instead, they make up reasons to criticise it. We should not care about them. We need audience, the family audience who liked the film. We don't need intellects and their opinions.
The actor also added that one should not come to conclusion watching Indian 2 alone, since there is a third part in the making, which has much more to offer.
