One of the highly anticipated films, Indian 2, was recently released in theatres worldwide on July 12. It is written and directed by S Shankar.

Apart from Kamal Haasan, the film also stars actors Siddharth, SJ Suryah, Rakul Preet Singh, Bobby Simha, Vivek, and Gulshan Grover in prominent roles. As per the latest reports, the film is getting mixed reviews among the fans. Along with this, Vivek’s scenes with Kamal Haasan in the film are being talked about among the fans. Fans were delighted to see actor Vivek on screen after a long time. Vivek’s long-held desire to act on screen with South star Kamal Haasan was realised with Indian 2. But Vivek’s sudden death didn’t make it possible for him to finish the movie.

Actor Vivek’s sudden death due to a heart attack in 2021 came as a shock to his fans and the entire film industry. It cannot be denied that even today, no one has been able to fill the void left by him in Tamil cinema. At that time, the movie Indian 2 was in production. So Vivek did not act in Indian 2 for more than half of the film. So in the rest of the film, a body double and some graphics were used and the visuals were shown in a way, as if the original Vivek was acting in the film.

Vivek’s performance, especially in one of the emotional scenes, won everyone’s appreciation. While many people were searching for the identity of the actor who played Vivek’s body double, the identity of that person has now been revealed. Do you know who the actor is?

According to reports, actor Kovai Babu, who is popular among the audience for his amazing performances in supporting comedy roles in many serials and Tamil films, played the role of Vivek in Indian 2.

Earlier, actor Kovai Babu shared screen with Vivek in the 2003 Tamil-language romantic drama film Kadhal Sadugudu. The film was directed by VZ Durai and produced by SS Chakravarthy. It stars Vikram, Priyanka Trivedi, Prakash Raj, and Vivek in the lead roles.
