Actor Kamal Haasan and filmmaker Shankar are all set to reunite after two decades for the sequel to their highly successful and celebrated 1996 Tamil film Indian.
The film, to be bankrolled by Dil Raju, will be made in Tamil and Telugu.
The film was officially launched earlier today. Shankar, Dil Raju and Kamal can be seen in a photo from the sets of Bigg Boss – the show that the actor hosts.
The production house, Sri Venkateswara Creations, tweeted a confirmation as well.

In Indian, Haasan played dual roles.
As a 70-year-old freedom fighter turned vigilante against corruption, Haasan won over audiences and critics alike. He played the father and son.
Indian, which had music by A.R Rahman, was released in Telugu as Bharatheeyudu and in Hindi as Hindustani.
Also starring Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar, the film bagged three National awards including the best actor honour for Haasan.
Rumours are rife that Indian 2 could be Haasan’s last film before he takes the political plunge.
