The makers have not officially revealed the complete list of special appearances. However, Vijay Sethupathi, SJ Suryah, and Mithun Chakraborty have stated in separate interviews that they are part of the sequel. Their involvement has further increased anticipation.

A few weeks ago, Mithun Chakraborty said that he and Shah Rukh Khan were expected to appear in important roles in the film. Later, reports claimed that Shah Rukh Khan stepped away from the project because of prior commitments. The makers have not officially confirmed these reports.

Industry buzz also suggested that Hrithik Roshan was approached to replace Shah Rukh Khan. Speculation gained momentum after Hrithik Roshan was spotted at Chennai airport, with reports claiming he had travelled to shoot his portions for Jailer 2.

According to the latest speculation, Hrithik Roshan’s scenes with Rajinikanth have turned out well, and his role has reportedly become longer than originally planned. There is also speculation that the makers may retain all of his scenes because of the wider reach he could bring to the film in North India.

Some reports further claim that the runtime of Vijay Sethupathi’s portions may be trimmed to maintain the film’s overall duration. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding these claims. The makers have not commented on the reported changes.

The latest rumours have sparked discussion across social media, with many fans eagerly waiting for an official update. Whether Hrithik Roshan’s reported cameo becomes one of the biggest highlights of Jailer 2 will only be known when the film releases.
