The much-awaited sequel of his 1996 film Indian, has landed into legal trouble, ahead of its release. Set to release on July 12th, 2024, Asan Rajendran, the head teacher of Varma Kalai, Martial Arts, and Research Academy in Madurai's HMS Colony has filed a petition against the film.
As reported by India TV News, the Madhurai District Court adjourned a case that sought a ban on the release of the much-anticipated sequel. According to the media publication, Rajendran claimed that the veteran actor consulted him for Varma Kalai techniques during the shooting process of the first film ‘Indian’ and that his contributions were duly credited. He alleged that Indian 2 employs these techniques without his permission, which prompted him to request a ban on the film’s release not only in the theatres but also on OTT platforms.

The case was reportedly heard on Monday before a judge in the Madhurai District Court.
After the crew of the film, requested additional time to file a response to Rajendran’s petition, the court ordered the hearing of the case to be adjourned till July 11.
Directed by S Shankar, the sequel sees Kamal Haasan reprising his role as Veerasekaran Senapathy. The first poster of the film was released during Pongal in 2020. Indian 2 also stars Samuthirakani, Bobby Simha, Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, and Priya Bhavani Shankar, in pivotal roles.
