The powerful first single from Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan’s highly anticipated film “Indian 2” has finally been released. Titled “Paaraa,” this grand period song marks the arrival of a valiant warrior ready to take on the British.
Composed by Anirudh Ravichander, the track features stupendous vocals by Anirudh and Shruthika Samudhrala, with lyrics penned by Pa Vijay.
A Melodic Journey
“Paaraa” begins as an upbeat motivational anthem, but it seamlessly transitions into a soulful romantic melody towards the end. The nostalgic touch evokes memories of AR Rahman’s iconic track “Kappaleri Poyachu” from the original “Indian” (1996).
Anirudh’s Bold Step
In his first collaboration with director Shankar, Anirudh steps out of his comfort zone to deliver a unique track. The song promises to dominate music charts this year, capturing the essence of the film.
Indian 2: Celebrating Senapathy
While the song features animated figures, it celebrates Senapathy—the freedom fighter turned vigilante portrayed by Kamal Haasan. The lyrics beautifully describe Senapathy’s significance to his people.
A Glimpse of Action
The lyric video showcases Senapathy in action, fighting an entire army single-handedly. Armed with an axe, he rides a horse through what appears to be a desert—a powerful visual that sets the tone for the film.
Anirudh’s Musical Magic
Anirudh Ravichander not only composed the song but also lent his vocals alongside Shruthika Samudhrala. The collaboration between music and lyrics, crafted by Pa Ranjith, adds depth to the narrative.
Release and Audio Launch
“Indian 2” is all set to hit screens worldwide on July 12th. Fans can look forward to the grand audio launch, scheduled for June 1st in Chennai.

Apart from Kamal Haasan, the ensemble cast includes Sidharth, Kajal Agarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, SJ Surya, Bobby Simha, Vivek, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Brahmanandam, Samuthirakani, Nedumudi Venu, Delhi Ganesh, Manobala, Jagan, Kalidas Jayaram, Gulshan Grover, Zakir Hussain, Piyush Mishra, and Akhilendra Mishra.
A Magnum Opus
