Los Angeles: The shooting of the sequel to 2002 film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" has commenced.

Actor John Corbett is seen topless filming the movie in a photo posted by writer and co-star Nia Vardalos on Instagram, reported The Wrap.

In the caption with the photo Vardalos referenced the scene in the first film, saying: "Is someone trying to get baptised again in #MyBigFatGreekWedding2 ?"

The pair play Toula and Ian who faced battles to marry across their different families and cultures in the first film, Toula a Greek-American from a lower-middle class extended family and non-Greek Ian with upper-middle class parents.

Kirk Jones is directing the sequel, with Vardalos again writing the screenplay. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2" is set to hit theaters on March 25, 2016.
