In a fascinating twist, the legacy of the iconic Tamil film “Indian” continues to reverberate. Rajendran, affectionately known as ‘Aasaan’ Rajendran, played a pivotal role behind the scenes. He was the mastermind behind the intricate varmakkalai (pressure point fighting) techniques showcased by Kamal Haasan’s character in the original “Indian.”
Fast forward to the present: “Indian 2,” directed by Shankar and starring Kamal Haasan, is gearing up for release. However, Rajendran has raised an eyebrow. He claims that the same varma mudras he taught for the 1996 film have resurfaced in “Indian 2.” In a petition filed with the Madurai District Law Court, Rajendran insists that his name should be acknowledged in the credits.
The court has taken note of this intriguing case and issued a notice to the film’s producer, Subhashkaran, director Shankar, and actor Kamal Haasan. The hearing is scheduled for July 9, and fans eagerly await the outcome.
In Shankar’s “Indian 2”, Varma Mudras play a fascinating role, adding depth to the film’s action sequences. These sacred hand gestures, rooted in ancient Indian martial arts, are used by Kamal Haasan’s character, Veerasekaran Senapathy. Varma Mudras symbolize energy flow and control. Senapathy employs them to channel inner strength and combat corruption. Each mudra corresponds to specific elements (earth, water, fire, air) and vital points in the body.
Senapathy uses Varma Mudras during intense fight scenes, enhancing his combat prowess. The choreography blends traditional martial arts with modern stunts, creating a unique visual spectacle. Director Shankar often infuses social commentary into his films. Senapathy’s use of Varma Mudras reinforces themes of justice, resilience, and inner power. Stay tuned as the battle over varmakkalai unfolds both on and off the screen!
