Hrithik Roshan's Role in the Sequel
The sequel to the blockbuster 'Jailer', starring Rajinikanth, was already one of the most awaited films. With Hrithik Roshan's inclusion, the excitement has reached new heights. According to sources, his role is expected to be integral to the storyline rather than a mere cameo. He will play a character that enters the narrative at a pivotal moment and helps propel the plot forward alongside Rajinikanth's character, Tiger Muthuvel Pandian.
Shooting Schedule in Chennai
As per a report by Variety India, Hrithik Roshan is slated to shoot his portions for 'Jailer 2' in Chennai on June 22 and June 23. The makers are reportedly preparing a completely new look for the Bollywood star, with multiple look tests planned before filming commences. While the specifics of his character remain under wraps, it is designed to leave a lasting impact on the film.
Reunion After Nearly Four Decades
Hrithik Roshan's addition to the cast also revives a past connection with Rajinikanth. The two actors previously shared screen space in the 1986 film 'Bhagwaan Dada', where Hrithik appeared as a child actor. Hrithik has long been an admirer of Rajinikanth and has expressed his respect on numerous occasions. This collaboration marks their reunion after nearly 40 years.
Massive Multi-Star Cast
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, 'Jailer 2' is shaping up to be one of the biggest films of 2026. Earlier reports indicated that Shah Rukh Khan could not join the project due to scheduling conflicts, but Hrithik Roshan has now come on board after discussions with the filmmakers. The film is also expected to feature a strong ensemble cast, including Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Vijay Sethupathi, Mithun Chakraborty, Ramya Krishnan, S J Suryah, and Yogi Babu. Fans are already buzzing with excitement and eagerly awaiting an official confirmation from the makers.
