The buzz around Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan’s upcoming movie Indian 2 has been massive ever since it was announced. However, the discussion around the film intensified after its trailer was unveiled. The action-filled clip saw the actor’s character, an elderly Senapathy, performing stunts. As a result, the fans were confused about the movie’s timeline, Senapathy’s age and how practical is it to involve him in such sequences.

The social media platforms are rife with viewers questioning director Shankar about Kamal Haasan’s character’s age. As a resolution, he recently opened up about the logic behind everything.

For the unversed, Indian, the first part in the franchise, showcased Senapathy as a freedom fighter who still protects the country. Moreover, it was revealed that he was born in 1918 and has never stopped fighting for his motherland. However, Indian 2 is coming 28 years after the first part, and by that logic, Senapathy will be 106 years old in the sequel.

Indian 2: What is Senapathy’s age in Indian 2?

Per 123telugu.com, Kamal Haasan and Shankar addressed many questions about Indian 2 trailer during its launch event in Mumbai. When they were asked about Senapathy’s age, the actor said, “That age has to be determined by the director. I would like to act even when I am 120.” Shankar further intervened and said, “There is a martial arts master in China. His name is Lu zijian. At the age of 120, he is performing martial arts. He is flying, kicking, and doing all the stuff.”

The director further argued how Senapathy is also a martial arts specialist which is why he is fighting at the age of 106. “This Senapathy character is also a master. He is well-versed in the ancient martial art called Varma Kalai. Senapathy has discipline regarding his food habits. He practices yoga and meditation and eats only once a day. So, if you are a master in your craft and have discipline, age doesn’t matter. You can perform any kind of stunt.”

However, Senapathy’s age and stunts are not the only concerns of fans. They are also critiquing Haasan’s appearance in the film. One will have to wait for Indian 2 to hit the theatres to see how the storyline pans out and the movie fares at the box office. It will be released on July 12, 2024. Stay tuned for more updates.
