As reported earlier, Netflix had acquired the post-theatrical OTT rights of Indian 2 for a substantial amount even before the film hit theaters. However, the streaming giant had reportedly attempted to revise the deal due to the movie's dismal box office performance. The film managed to earn only around Rs 50 crore from its lifetime theatrical run, making it a commercial disappointment. However, it seems like the issue got resolved as the film is all set for its OTT release.
Meanwhile, the story of Indian 2 picks up years after the events of the original film, where Senapathy has been living in Taiwan as a martial arts guru. The narrative begins with a group of YouTubers, led by Chitra Aravindan (played by Siddharth), who uncover instances of corruption and initiate a social media campaign to bring Senapathy back to India. The hashtag #ComeBackIndian trends, prompting Senapathy to return and continue his crusade against corruption. He encourages the youth to expose corrupt practices, even within their own families, leading to a series of dramatic and tragic events.
Apart from Kamal Haasan, the movie featured Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh and others in prominent roles. On the other hand, Indian 3 will release in January 2025 and feature Kajal Aggarwal in a significant role. The movie will be a prequel to the Indian film series.
