The highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 cult classic “Indian,” titled “Indian 2,” is poised to set the silver screen ablaze on July 12th. Directed by the enigmatic Shankar and featuring the legendary Kamal Haasan in the lead role, the film has already generated significant pre-release buzz with its captivating trailer. However, a unique debate has ignited on social media platforms, centering on the believability of Kamal Haasan portraying action sequences at his current age.
The heart of the debate revolves around the character’s age progression. In the prequel, “Indian,” Senapati, played by Haasan, was established as a 75-year-old vigilante. Following this timeline, Senapati would be a remarkable 103 years old in the year 2024. This begs the question: can a man of such an advanced age realistically perform feats of martial arts with any degree of credibility? This very question has left many moviegoers skeptical.
Director Shankar, renowned for his visually stunning and larger-than-life cinematic experiences, has confidently dismissed these concerns. He argues that Senapati should not be perceived as an ordinary man, but rather as a superhero – a figure whose extraordinary abilities transcend the limitations of human aging. Shankar bolsters his argument by citing real-life examples like Lu Zijian, a 108-year-old martial arts master from China. Lu Zijian serves as a testament to the power of dedication and discipline, defying the boundaries often associated with aging.
Kamal Haasan, ever the dedicated actor, acknowledges the physical challenges associated with wearing heavy prosthetics for roles like Senapati. However, he emphasizes that a compelling narrative and the visionary direction of Shankar make the effort undeniably worthwhile. Haasan assures fans that the captivating story woven within “Indian 2” will seamlessly justify any physical transformation he undergoes for the role.
