After the underwhelming response to Coolie, Rajinikanth is now busy shooting for Jailer 2 directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. Reports suggest that nearly 70% of the filming is already complete, and the production team is working at a brisk pace.
Meanwhile, strong buzz in the industry suggests that after Jailer 2, Rajinikanth’s next film with director Sundar C has been finalised. This project will reportedly be produced by Kamal Haasan’s banner, Raj Kamal Films International.
Adding to the excitement, new speculation hints at a reunion film featuring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan together, directed once again by Nelson Dilipkumar. The project is said to be bankrolled by Raj Kamal Films International.
According to insiders, this could be Rajinikanth’s final film before retiring from cinema. The shoot is expected to begin in 2027, as Nelson has asked for one year to complete the script. Sources claim the director plans a grand farewell for the Superstar.
Fans have mixed emotions about the news. Many feel sad imagining Tamil cinema without Rajinikanth, who has been its biggest icon for decades. Others dismiss the rumours, calling them yet another round of social media chatter.
They point out that such retirement rumours always surface when Rajinikanth delivers average films, as seen after Vettaiyan and Coolie. Supporters believe he will continue to act for at least five to six more films.
Still, considering his age of 74, many believe this reunion with Kamal Haasan could mark a fitting end to his legendary journey. The two first shared screen space in Apoorva Raagangal, and ending his career alongside Kamal would bring his story full circle.
Industry trackers say if this reunion happens, it will be more than just another film it will be a historic farewell for one of Indian cinema’s greatest stars. Whether it becomes Rajinikanth’s final project or not, fans are already waiting for the official confirmation.
