Indian 2: A Lengthy Return for Senapathy S Shankarâs Indian 2, a sequel to the 1996 vigilante action film Indian, hit theatres on July 12, 2024. The film, a Lyca Productions and Red Giant Movies venture, sees Kamal Haasan reprise his iconic role as Senapathy, an aging freedom fighter combating corruption. The ensemble cast includes Siddharth, S J Suryah, Rakul Preet Singh, and Priya Bhavani Shankar, among others. The plot sees Senapathy returning from abroad to assist Chitra Aravindhanâs team in their anti-corruption efforts. Principal photography, initiated in January 2019, spanned five years, facing setbacks including a tragic accident on set and the COVID-19 pandemic. The production also involved a change in production houses, with Red Giant Movies joining Lyca Productions. Anirudh Ravichander composed the music, while A Sreekar Prasad handled the editing. Released in standard and IMAX formats, Indian 2 received mixed reviews. While Kamal Haasan's performance earned praise, criticisms focused on the film's excessive runtime, character development, and lack of emotional depth. Despite the negative feedback, the film achieved significant box office success, grossing 151 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2024. Its over six-hour duration prompted a split into two parts; Indian 3: War Mode is slated for a 2025 release.
