Kamal Haaasan in 'Indian 2'. (Twitter)
Kamal Haasan’s “Senapthy” look from his forthcoming flick Indian 2 found its way to social media once again, this time on Thursday, 8 December.
The Twitter handle of Jaya TV posted a picture of the actor — clad in a White dhoti-kurta and blue jacket, and sporting white hair — apparently taken when he was shooting at Chennai airport.
Following this, Red Giant Movies and Lyca Productions asked users to not share the photo online and decided to approach the cyber cell of the Chennai Police to track the culprits.
This comes after bits of audio from a song from Ajith’s Thunivu were leaked online on Wednesday.
The photos of Ajith in a scene from the film were also circulated.
For the past few days, Kamal Haasan has been shooting near the Chennai airport for Indian 2. The shoot will go on till 20 December.
Director Shankar, who returned from abroad after shooting a song with Ram Charan for RC15, is helming the Kamal Haasan sequel.
After taking part in the shoot, Gulshan Grover posted photos of him with Kamal.

Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Bobby Simha, and Guru Somasundram are playing key roles in Indian 2.
In the sequel, Malayalam actor Nandu steps into the role played by Nedumudi Venu in the original, as the latter passed away.
Anirudh is the music director and Rathnavelu and Ravi Varman are the cinematographers.
The sequel to Indian has Kamal reprising the Senapathy role again.
Director Shankar released a photo of Kamal in the Senapathy avatar on 7 November, as a birthday gift to the actor.
Red Giant Movies recently agreed to co-produce Indian 2, after the dispute between Shankar and Lyca Productions was solved.
While Shankar is juggling RC15 and Indian 2, Kamal is keeping the weekends free for Bigg Boss Tamil.
This is not the first time that the shooting scenes from Indian 2 were leaked online.
In October 2019, a shooting schedule was held in Bhopal where stunt choreographer Peter Hein filmed an action scene with 2,000 junior actors.
A still of Kamal in Senapathy’s makeup, sitting in front of a mirror to get the final touches, was posted on the internet.
These apart, the storyline of Indian 2 is also being circulated online.
