The shooting of Jailer 2, the highly anticipated sequel starring Rajinikanth and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is reportedly nearing completion. According to industry reports, the makers are targeting a Diwali release, making it one of the most awaited films of the year.
A few weeks ago, Sun Pictures officially announced the completion of filming by sharing photographs from the wrap party. However, reports suggest that some patchwork scenes and a major cameo sequence are still pending and will be completed in the coming days.
Earlier speculation indicated that the team was interested in casting Shah Rukh Khan for a special cameo appearance. Due to his existing commitments, the actor was reportedly unable to take part in the project, leading the makers to explore other options.
Recent reports claim that Hrithik Roshan has been brought on board for the role. There is also speculation that he has arrived in Chennai to shoot his portions, with filming expected to continue for a few days.
The development has triggered discussions among cinema fans on social media. Some believe the cameo should have been removed entirely if the original plan involving Shah Rukh Khan could not be executed.
Supporters of this view argue that a collaboration between Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan could have become one of the biggest crossover moments in Indian cinema. They feel the role may have been designed specifically with Shah Rukh Khan in mind.
At the same time, many fans are excited about the possibility of seeing Hrithik Roshan share screen space with Rajinikanth. They believe the actor has the charisma and screen presence to make a strong impact, regardless of the original casting plans.
As of now, the makers have not officially confirmed the cameo reports. With anticipation around Jailer 2 continuing to grow, audiences are waiting to see how the special appearance unfolds and whether it becomes one of the film’s biggest highlights.
