Indian 2, a sequel to the 1994 Tamil blockbuster Indian, began filming last week. The film also stars Kajal Aggarwal as the female lead. While promoting his previous film 2.0, Shankar had revealed that he recently did a photoshoot with Haasan for Indian 2.

Shankar added that he was thrilled to see Haasan sporting the look of the popular octogenarian character Senapathy, a freedom fighter-turned-vigilante bent on rooting out corruption. Anirudh Ravichander will compose music for Indian 2.
