Jailer 2: Is Nandamuri Balakrishna being paid Rs 50 crores for his extended cameo in Rajinikanth starrer? Find out

Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth in the lead role, is currently undergoing a shoot with the makers, who have recently wrapped up a schedule in Kerala. Now, it is reported that Nandamuri Balakrishna is being paid a whopping sum of Rs 50 crores as remuneration.

According to Valai Pechu, NBK has demanded a significant salary from the production house, and the latter has agreed. As the movie is already underway, the Padma Bhushan-winning actor has allotted 20 days to the shoot. However, as of now, this is just a report with an official confirmation yet to be made.

Talking about Jailer 2, the upcoming film is a sequel to 2023’s blockbuster venture, Jailer. The movie focused on the story of “Tiger” Muthuvel Pandian, a retired jail warden who exacts revenge on the men who had allegedly vanquished his son.

With Rajinikanth in the lead role, the film featured an ensemble cast of actors like Vinayakan, Ramya Krishnan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Vasanth Ravi, and many more in key roles. Apart from them, the movie also had cameo appearances by Shiva Rajkumar, Mohanlal, and Jackie Shroff.

Coming to the sequel, the movie would explore another storyline from Muthuvel Pandian’s world with Fahadh Faasil, SJ Suryah, and more expected to join. Apart from NBK, it is likely that Shiva Rajkumar and Mohanlal would reprise their roles.

Interestingly, director Nelson Dilipkumar had recently visited Mohanlal at the sets of Hridayapoorvam to narrate the story. The makers of the Malayalam movie unveiled a video from the sets as well.
