CHENGALPATTU: The Sathurangapattinam panchayat sent a letter to the Archeology Department in Mamallapuram demanding an explanation for allowing the crew of Indian-2 movie to shoot in the Dutch Fort premises without any intimation to the municipality.

The action sequences for the movie were recently shot over a three-day period in the Dutch Fort located at Sathurangapattinam with actor Kamal Hassan and his crew members.
