More about Jailer 2
Jailer 2 is an upcoming sequel directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, with Rajinikanth reprising the lead role. The film is expected to continue the story of Muthuvel Pandian following the events of the first installment.
Apart from the superstar, the film also stars Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, and Suraj Venjaramoodu in key roles. Additionally, Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar are expected to reprise their roles in the sequel.
Earlier, there were rumours that Shah Rukh Khan would make a cameo appearance in the film. However, due to his commitments to King, the actor reportedly declined the offer. While many expected another major star to replace him, no further updates have surfaced so far.
Previously, the makers were expected to release the movie by mid-2026. However, it now appears that the team has decided to postpone the release, although no official confirmation has been made yet.
Rajinikanth’s work front
Rajinikanth is next set to star in the tentatively titled Thalaivar173. The film is being co-produced by Kamal Haasan under the banner of Raaj Kamal Films International. Initially, Sundar C was expected to direct the project.
However, the actor-director later stepped away from the film, with Cibi Chakravarthi reportedly replacing him. Although still unconfirmed, recent reports suggest that Cibi Chakravarthi may also exit the project, with Ashwath Marimuthu, best known for Dragon, expected to come on board with a fresh storyline.
Looking ahead, Rajinikanth is also expected to reunite with Kamal Haasan in the tentatively titled KHxRK Reunion, which will reportedly be directed by Nelson Dilipkumar.
