Indian 2 is the sequel to Kamal Haasan’s 1996 film Indian. The movie starts with a group of YouTubers, led by Chitra Aravindhan (Siddharth), addressing corruption in the country through parody and spoof videos on their channel, Barking Dog. While they are happy with their videos going viral, protesting the suicide of a young girl due to a corrupt government official lands them in jail. Chitra’s girlfriend Disha (Rakul Preet Singh) bails them out but cautions them about the repercussions of taking on an influential and powerful group. Believing that only Veerasekaran Senapathy, aka Indian (Haasan), can save the country from corruption, Chitra starts an online campaign with the hashtag #ComeBackIndian.

Meanwhile, the ageless vigilante Senapathy, who left the country after killing his corrupt son Chandru in Indian, continues delivering death penalties to baddies overseas. When not exacting justice on businessmen like Amit Agarwal (Gulshan Grover), Senapathy teaches martial arts to youngsters in Taiwan. Now that’s a Mr Miyagi figure in the making. Predictably, he decides to return to new-age India and tackle the ever-increasing menace.
