Happy Birthday Kamal Haasan: Senapathy is back! Indian 2 makers drop new poster of Ulaganayagan's iconic character

​The team of Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 today dropped a new poster of the iconic character from the franchise, Senathipathi. Kamal Haasan is seen in a spirited mood in the poster. The film's director Shankar shared the poster on his social media handle, and wished the actor a happy birthday.

The shoot for Ulaganayagan Indian 2 is in full swing and the latest we hear is that majority of the portions have been wrapped up. If everything goes as per plan, the vigilante thriller is likely to be wrapped up by January. The shoot for the film had come to a halt in early 2020, when a freak accident on the sets turned out to be fatal, leaving many injured as well. Later, the shoot got indefinitely delayed after the pandemic struck. It was resumed in September and Kamal Haasan had announced the same on his social media handle.

The film has an ensemble star cast which includes Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Delhi Ganesh, Gulshan Grover, Siddharth, Samuthirakani, Guru Somasundaram, Bobby Simhaa, Jayaprakash and Vennela Kishore to name a few. Music for the film is by Anirudh Ravichander (marking his second collaboration after Vikram), cinematography by Ravi Varman and Ratnavelu and editing by A Sreekar Prasad.

Bobby Simha, who plays a crucial role in the film, also celebrated his birthday on the sets.

Indian 2 is said to be a sequel to the 1996 film, which was also helmed by director Shankar. The film had Kamal Haasan in a dual role  and starred Sukanya, Manisha Koirala,  Urmila Matondkar, Goundamani and Senthil. Music for the film was by AR Rahman. The film was a runaway success at the box office.

In the meantime, fans of the actor are excited about yet another announcement that Kamal Haasan will be teaming up with Mani Ratnam for his next after the cult gangster drama Nayakan. The film is tentatively being referred to as KH 234.
