Rajinikanth`s highly anticipated Jailer 2 has reportedly landed a major Bollywood star. If reports are to be believed, Hrithik Roshan has joined the sequel for a special cameo and will soon shoot his portions in Chennai. The collaboration is particularly exciting as it reunites Hrithik and Rajinikanth on screen nearly four decades after Bhagwaan Dada.
Hrithik Roshan in Jailer 2
As per a report in Variety India, “After weeks of discussions, Hrithik Roshan has officially come on board the project and is set to shoot his portions on June 22 and 23 in Chennai. Ahead of filming, the actor will undergo multiple look tests, with the makers crafting a completely fresh and never-seen-before avatar for his character. His appearance is being mounted on a grand scale.” According to sources mentioned by the portal, Hrithik`s cameo arrives at a pivotal moment in the narrative, where he aids Rajinikanth’s character and helps take the story forward.
To note, the collaboration is particularly special as it marks Hrithik and Rajinikanth`s first on-screen reunion in four decades. The duo last shared screen space in the 1986 action drama Bhagwaan Dada, which also marked Hrithik`s acting debut as a child artist. In the film, he played the foster son of Rajinikanth`s character, making their upcoming reunion a nostalgic moment for fans.
Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan was supposed to have a cameo in the film. However, he has reportedly backed out for several reasons.
About Jailer 2
For the uninitiated, director Nelson Dilipkumar`s Jailer 2 has triggered huge anticipation among fans and film buffs for several reasons. One of the prime reasons is that Jailer 2 promises loads of action and entertainment, much like the first part, which emerged as a blockbuster by raking in a whopping Rs 650 crore worldwide.
Ramya Krishnan plays the character of Vijaya Pandian, aka Viji, the wife of Rajinikanth’s character Muthuvel Pandian, in the film. Sources say that actress Mirnaa, who plays Swetha Pandian, Rajinikanth’s daughter-in-law in the film, will also have a pivotal role in the sequel. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi have also shot for Jailer 2.
On the work front, Rajinikanth is gearing up for his next film with Kamal Haasan, bringing the two superstars together on screen after a long time. The actors will start shooting for their film in 2027.
