Now, a fresh schedule of the upcoming film has begun in Chennai and the team has welcomed a new cast member on board.

Indian 2 back on track
Last year, Indian 2 raised many speculations and it was believed that the film has been shelved. Lyca Productions, the banner backing Indian 2, had moved to Madras High Court seeking to stop director Shankar from working on his other upcoming films and focus on completing Indian 2 first. In August, the film finally resumed shooting at a set in Vadapalani, Chennai. Shankar and Haasan were snapped on set with the actor sporting his signature moustache and clean-shaven look.
