Recently, Bollywood and Hollywood actor Anil Kapoor's picture with the ace director Shankar had been making heavy rounds on the internet. After this, speculations that Anil Kapoor could be part of Indian 2 spread like wild-fire immediately.
Anil had came to Chennai to attend a promotional event, where he met his 'Nayak' (Mudhal hindi remake) director Shankar casually and shared some lighter moments. Our sources confirm that this meet was only casual and that he has not been roped in for Indian 2 yet.
