How Old is Senapathy in Kamal Haasan’s ‘Indian 2’? Shankar Reveals

Kamal Haasan will soon be seen in Shankar’s ‘Indian 2’, one of the biggest Tamil films of the year. The vigilante drama has created a fair deal of buzz among fans as it features the veteran actor as the freedom fighter Senapathy, a character he first played in 1996. The character’s age has become a hot topic of discussion among netizens.

“I am seeing him as a martial artist master. In China, there are many martial arts masters, and one master name is Lu Zijian, who is 108 years old. He is still active, flying, and kicking. It is because of their discipline and the way practiced the art. Senapathy is also a martial arts master. He is the master of Varma. So, I see him as a superhero,” said the filmmaker

’Indian 2’ is a sequel to the 1996 classic ‘Indian’/’Hindustani’. The original film emerged as a commercial success and received rave reviews for its screenplay. It was also India’s official entry to the Oscars but didn’t bag a nomination.
