It’s a wrap for the second schedule of Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2

Southern superstar Kamal Haasan, who was last seen on celluloid in his home production Vishwaroopam 2 (2019), has wrapped up the second shooting schedule of his much-awaited film Indian 2. As the title aptly suggests, Indian 2 is a sequel to the National Film Award winning 1996 movie Indian, featuring Kamal Haasan, Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar in lead roles.

Kamal has been all busy over the past few days shooting for the sequel. The latest news related to the sequel is that the team recently wrapped up the second schedule of the film with a jaw-dropping action sequence in Valarasavakkan, Chennai, under the supervision of action choreographer Peter Hein. The entire cast and crew of the vigilant thriller will now head off to Hyderabad in a few days to commence the third schedule.


The sequel, which was announced last year, will have the National Film Award winning actor performing some high-octane action sequences. Talking about his look, he will be seen sporting a clean-shaven look in the movie.

Indian 2 also stars Kajal Aggarwal in the lead role. The talented actress will be seen in an action avatar. To get into the skin of her character in the movie, she has even taken special training in Indian Martial Art, Kalarippayattu.

Apart from Kamal Haasan and Kajal, Indian 2 also stars Rakul Preet Singh, Vidyut Jammwal, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Siddharth along with other actors in major roles. The movie is being directed by well-known filmmaker Shankar, who also called the shots for the original film more than two decades ago. It reunites Shankar and Kamal after a huge gap of more than twenty years.

Produced by Lyca Productions, Indian 2 is scheduled for its grand theatrical release on 14th April, 2021.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
