Kamal Haasan recently joined the shoot of Indian 2 and the pictures of the legendary actor along with director Shankar went viral on social media. The filming is taking place at a brisk pace and important scenes are being shot in this schedule. Kajal Aggarwal who plays the female lead, is gearing up to begin shoot for the film and she is currently busy training for the film. She is undergoing intense training for the martial art form, Kalaripayattu, which eventually lead to the creation of other forms like Shaolin, Kung Fu, Karate, and Taekwondo.
Kajal Aggarwal took to her official Instagram page yesterday (Sept 24) to share her experience about learning Kalaripayattu for Indian 2 and added that she has been training for the form for the last three years intermittently. Sharing glimpses from her training, Kajal Aggarwal wrote, "Kalaripayattu is an ancient Indian martial art, that translates into ‘practice in the arts of the battlefield.’ The magic of this art form evolved into the birth of Shaolin, Kung Fu and consequently Karate and Taekwondo, amongst others. Kalari was typically used for guerilla warfare and is a beautiful practice that empowers the seeker physically as well as mentally. Grateful to have been learning this intermittently (but wholeheartedly) over 3 years! @cvn_kalari have been fabulous and so patient, guiding me as per my ability to learn and perform at different degrees over time. Thank you for being such wonderful masters. ðŸ™ðŸ» shot and edited by @kiransa #indian2".
