Guru Somasundaram is the latest addition to the cast of Kamal Haasan, Shankar's Indian 2

Looks like Guru Somasundaram is on a roll. After receiving accolades from several quarters for his performance in Minnal Murali (streaming on Netflix), the actor has been roped in to play a crucial character in Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure, which marks the directorial debut of Mohanlal.

Now, the actor, who is notable among Tamil audience for his performances in Aaranya Kandam (Disney+ Hotstar), Jigarthanda (streaming on Disney+ Hotstar) and Joker (streaming on YouTube), has bagged another big ticket flick, this time in Kollywood. If the news coming from a few sources are anything to go by, Guru will be seen playing a key role in Indian 2.

The magnum opus, starring Kamal Haasan in the lead, features of bevy of actors, including Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Rakul Preet, Samuthirakani, Delhi Ganesh and Vennela Kishore among others. It is heard that Kajal will be replaced by another actress and an official word on the same will be announced soon.

The shooting of the big budget project has been put on hold for quite sometime after Shankar and the production house Lyca Productions couldn't agree on certain terms and conditions. The issue was sorted out recently and it is expected that the movie will go on floors again soon.

The film was also in the news when three crew members lost their life after they met with an accident on set while shooting was happening in a studio in Chennai. Shankar is currently busy with Ram Charan's untitled movie and Kamal is shooting for Lokesh Kanagaraj's Vikram.

Guru Somasundaram, who was last seen in a notable role in Jai Bhim (streaming on Amazon Prime Video) in Tamil, has Maamanithan, Kadhalikka Yarumillai, Parama Guru and the long-pending Idhu Vedhalam Sollum Kadhai in his kitty.
