Mumbai: The much-anticipated sequel to the 1996 spy action thriller ‘Indian’, aptly titled ‘Indian 2’, is slated for a theatrical release this coming June. Helmed by the acclaimed director Shankar, the film promises to bring back the iconic character Senapathy, an ex-freedom fighter turned vigilante, in a fight against corruption.
Lyca Productions, the studio behind ‘Indian 2’, took to its official social media page last Saturday to share the exciting news. The post heralded the return of the beloved character with the words, “Get ready for the return of Senapathy! Indian 2 is all set to hit the theaters this June!”
The original film, which saw Kamal Haasan in a dual role, was a box office sensation upon its release 28 years ago. Fans have since been eagerly awaiting the sequel, which promises to continue the legacy of Senapathy’s crusade against societal ills.
In ‘Indian 2’, Kamal Haasan reprises his role, leading an ensemble cast that includes Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, SJ Surya, Gulshan Grover, Piyush Mishra, and Brahmanandam. The film is expected to delve deeper into the protagonist’s mission, as he aids a young man in exposing corrupt politicians through the internet.
The anticipation for ‘Indian 2’ is palpable, as it marks another collaboration between Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, promising to be one of Shankar’s longest films to date. With a narrative that resonates with contemporary issues and a cast that brings together some of the finest talents, ‘Indian 2’ is poised to be a cinematic event that could once again capture the audience’s imagination and box office success.
