Lyca Productions, one of the banners behind the movie has now updated that the Indian 2 runtime has been trimmed by 12 minutes. This means that the future theatrical screenings of Indian 2, will be showcased with a runtime lesser than 180. 04 minutes.

The new Indian 2 runtime is 2 hours 48 minutes and 4 seconds i.e. 168.04 minutes.  The movie written, and directed by Shankar is a direct sequel to the Tamil blockbuster Indian (1996), and is set 28 years after the events of the first film. 

Indian 2 sees the return of Senapathy to India, who in the first film left the country after murdering corrupt government officials, including his own son. How the ageing freedom fighter turned vigilante, uproots corruption with the help of his handy aide i.e. the Varma Kalai martial arts skill, forms the core of Indian 2. 

Indian 2 co-produced by Red Giant Movies also sees Senapathy facing media trial, and a social media driven fickle public, along with corrupt officials this time around.  The movie also stars Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Nedumudi Venu, Bobby Simha, Vivek, G Marimuthu, Manobala, among others, and has Anirudh Ravichander for music.
