Indian 2 is a sequel to his director Shankar's superhit 1996 movie Indian in which Kamal Haasan played dual roles of a freedom fighter-turned-vigilante father (Senapathy) and his corrupt son (Chandrabose). Kamal Haasan returns as the 90 year old Senapathy in Indian 2, which has been in production hell for quite sometime now. Nevertheless, a schedule of Indian 2 is all set to begin shooting at Tirupati and a set on the outskirts of the Andhra Pradesh city has already been put up for the same.
