Indian 2 poster
On the occasion of Pongal, filmmaker S. Shankar on Tuesday unveiled the first look poster of his next movie, Indian 2 featuring actor-politician Kamal Haasan. Shankar shared the poster via a tweet and extended Pongal wishes to everyone. Via the poster, it was revealed that the project will go on the floors from Friday.
As this is the actor's last film before he turns to politics, fans could not keep calm after seeing him as a vigilante again.
