Shankar while recently speaking about Indian 2 at a public event, has said that the talkie portions of the movie will be wrapped by June, 2023. Indian 2 sees the return of Kamal Haasan as the vigilante Senapathy, who is a former freedom fighter enraged with how corrupt India/Indians have become.
While in the first movie, he punished corrupt government officials including his own son, in Indian 2 he is after politicians. Actor Siddharth plays a YouTuber who exposes corrupt politicians through his channel and after watching his videos, the now octogenarian Senapathy comes out from his exile. Indian 2 also stars Kajal Aggaralwal, Rakul Preet Singh as Siddharth's wife, and Priya Bhavani Shankar as a journalist among others.
