Kamal Haasan is currently busy shooting for director Shankar's Indian 2 also starring Rakul Preet Singh and Kajal Aggarwal in the female leads.  And now according to TOI, Kamal Haasan has suggested the director of the movie to use his body double for the action scenes in the movie. The reports state that the superstar felt that because of his health, he won't be able to do complete justice to the action scenes. The reports further state that an assistant from action choreographer and stunt coordinator Peter Hein's team will be performing the action scenes instead of Kamal Haasan. 

Kamal Haasan always does his own stunts in the movie but the superstar had recently undergone a leg surgery. He had to remove an implant that was placed three years ago. Due to this, it will be difficult for the actor to perform any stunts hence he decided to take the help of a body double. While Indian was a big hit, fans are excited about its sequel. Kamal Haasan will be reprising the role of Senapathy and Chatrapathy.  Nedumudi Venu will be reprising his role as Krishnaswamy. 


We are honored in wishing Ulaganayagan @ikamalhaasan for his contribution to our film industry for years & we are happy to be a part of his incredible journey while he's stepping into his th year in this industry! . #60PathBreakingYrsOfKamal From #KalathurKannamma to #Indian2 #12Aug1960 to #12Aug2019
