The film is the official remake of the 1996 film of the same name. The story revolves around the iconic character Senapathy, a freedom fighter who turns vigilante to fight corruption. Haasan will reprise his role as Senapathy. In the first venture “Indian” movie we see Haasan in dual roles, as both a father and his son. On April 6, the makers finally unveiled the poster of this much anticipated action-packed thriller. In the poster Kamal’s character as a man with greying hair dressed in white shirt and a vesthi with his hands are tied in handcuffs dressed in the vibrant bright yellow and orange while some back figures are barely showing in the background.
The superstar was last seen in and gained enormous recognition and critical acclaim from 2022 film Vikram. Needless to say, the delay will be an enormous disappointment for the fans.
