Jailer 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Rajinikanth‘s blockbuster Jailer, is set to feature a special cameo by Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan. According to reports, Hrithik Roshan will join Jailer 2 after Shah Rukh Khan stepped away from the role due to scheduling conflicts.
Hrithik Roshan‘s Jailer 2 portions are scheduled to shoot next week in Chennai, with look tests planned before filming begins.
Hrithik Roshan’s Pivotal Role in Jailer 2
Sources reveal that Hrithik‘s character plays Rajinikanth‘s friend who appears during a crucial point in the story to help during a crisis. The role involves an explosive action sequence mounted on a grand scale, with the scenes designed to be a major highlight of the sequel.
The cameo brings together two of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars in a significant cross-industry collaboration. Director Nelson Dileepkumar, who delivered the massively successful first installment, is raising the stakes even higher for Jailer 2.
The sequel is targeting the ₹1000 Cr milestone as Kollywood’s biggest release, with expectations sky-high following Jailer‘s phenomenal box office run. The production is progressing rapidly, with Hrithik Roshan‘s sequences set to commence next week.
While the exact release date is yet to be finalized, the makers are eyeing a festive window during either the Pooja holidays or Diwali. Both slots are prime for major releases, and Jailer 2 with its star-studded cast is positioned as one of the most awaited films of the year.
