Tamil director Shankar, who made his debut with Gentleman in 1992, is renowned for his mammoth and visually splendid movies that often touch upon social and political topics. The director has a knack for leaving the audience in awe with his concepts and making style, and enjoys following across South India. He is currently busy with Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 and Ram Charan's Game Changer which are expected to hit the screens in 2024. Though he hasn't announced any other film, except for Anniyan's adaptation with Ranveer Singh, AI has come up with ideas that the director could possibly make in the coming years...
Sci-fi Extravaganza
Shankar has already explored the science fiction genre with films like Enthiran in 2010 and 2.0 in 2018. He could delve more into futuristic themes, advanced technology, and societal implications in his next sci-fi project.
Social Drama
Shankar knows how to address social issues effortlessly and entertainingly through his films. He could continue this trend by taking on subjects such as casteism, or environmental concerns, infusing them with his trademark larger-than-life treatment and mass appeal.
Historical Epic
Shankar could explore a historical subject and present a never-before-seen epic drama set against a significant event or era in Tamil history. By combining his visual flair with a captivating storyline, he could create a grand cinematic experience.
Sports Film
Shankar could explore the sports genre, focusing on a particular sport or an underdog team's journey towards success. With his expertise in entertaining narratives and spectacles, he could bring out the passion and excitement of the sporting world.
Technological Thriller
Shankar could create a gripping thriller centered around technology, artificial intelligence, or cybercrime. Though this is nothing new for him, he could craft a captivating narrative with thought-provoking themes featuring a huge mass hero in a bigger set-up than we have experienced before.
