Director S Shankar announced that he'll start filming the sequel to his 1996 hit film today and he also revealed that in Indian 2, Kamal Haasan's Senapathy will be "older, wiser and deadlier." Kamal Haasan played the role of Senapathy, a former freedom fighter, who rechristened himself as Indian, a vigilante who vowed to eliminate all corrupt officers from government offices.
