Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan is returning as Senapathy after 28 years as the much-awaited film, Indian 2, is gearing up for release. Directed by Shankar, this epic movie will hit theatres worldwide on July 12. The advance booking for its Kerala screenings has also been announced.

Starting Wednesday, July 10 at 7 pm, fans can book their seats online through platforms like BookMyShow, Paytm, Catch My Seat, and TicketNew. Sree Gokulam Movies is distributing the film in Kerala. The film had completed shooting by mid April and the makers initially announced that the movie would release in June. However, it was later pushed, reportedly to avoid a clash with Prabhas and Nag Ashwin's 'Kalki 2898AD', which was released worldwide on June 27.

Produced by Lyca Productions and Red Giant Movies at a cost of Rs 200 crores, this film boasts a star-studded cast alongside Kamal Haasan, including Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, SJ Suryah, Vivek, Zakir Hussain, Jayaprakash, Jagan, Delhi Ganesh, Samuthirakani, Nizhalgal Ravi, George Maryan, Vinod Sagar, Benedict Garrett, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Rakul Preet Singh, Brahmanandam, and Bobby Simha.

Cinematography is handled by Ravi Varman, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The film's songs and trailer have received a great response from the audience. Editing is done by Sreekar Prasad and the movie is reported to be three hours long. Indian 2 serves as the sequel to the 1996 Shankar film 'Indian'. Preparations for the third instalment, Indian 3, are also underway.

Credits also include screenplay by Shankar, dialogues by B Jeyamohan, Kabilan Vairamuthu, and Lakshmi Saravanakumar, and action sequences by Anbariv, Peter Hein, and Stunt Silva. Executive Producer GKM Tamil Kumaran oversees the production, with Dream Big Films serving as the film's distribution partner in Kerala. PRO Sabari handles the publicity.
