About Jailer 2
Jailer 2 sees Nelson Dilipkumar return as the film’s writer and director. It is produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures. The film stars Rajinikanth, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu and Mirnaa. Mammootty and Shiva Rajkumar are expected to make cameos, as they did in the first part. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music for the film hitting screens on October 15.
After the film went on the floors, rumours were rife that Shah Rukh Khan and Nandamuri Balakrishna would feature in key roles or cameos. These were fuelled by Mithun telling Siti Cinema in December 2025, “My next is Jailer 2, where everybody is against me. Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Shah Rukh Khan, Ramya Krishnan, Shiva Rajkumar, all their characters are against me,” hinting that he plays the antagonist. This marks his reunion with Rajinikanth after Bhagya Debata (1995).
Later, reports surfaced that Jailer 2 will feature neither actor, but that Hrithik Roshan might make a cameo. The makers, however, stayed mum through it all. Clips of Jailer 2 were recently leaked online, but Sun Pictures cracked down on it.
