Indian was nominated by India as its entry for the Best Foreign Language Film for the Academy Awards in 1996. On September 12th, 2008, 12 years after its original release, the film was digitally re-mastered and re-released at Amjikarai Theatre in Tamil Nadu, India. The Corruption Theme was later used in Mudhalvan, Nayak, Anniyan and Sivaji. The film was later released (dubbed) in Hindi as Hindustani and in Telugu as Bharatheeyudu. When his Indian was dubbed in Hindi as Hindustani, Shankar shot all of Manorama's scenes with Aruna Irani, to give it a Hindi touch and also changed all the Tamil banners in the backdrop to Hindi.
