Entertainment: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly set to play a police officer in Jailer 2. This Rajinikanth-starrer is an eagerly awaited action entertainer.
According to industry sources, only Shah Rukh Khan’s portions are left to be shot. He is expected to begin shooting in March, with his scenes scheduled for seven to eight days. The actor’s role is reportedly an extended cameo, and now it has been confirmed that he will play a police officer in the film.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer 2 has generated considerable excitement among fans and film enthusiasts. A major reason for this excitement is that the film features the same intense action and entertainment as the first part, which proved to be a blockbuster, grossing ₹650 crore worldwide.
The first Jailer received positive reviews and had a record-breaking opening. Its overseas distributor, Ayngaran International, reported that the film grossed ₹33 crore on its opening day—the biggest opening of superstar Rajinikanth’s career.
Shooting for Jailer 2 began in Chennai on March 10 last year, as announced by production house Sun Pictures. Interest in the film grew after the release of an intriguing teaser that offered both humor and thrill.
Actress Ramya Krishnan, who plays Vijaya Pandian (Viji), the wife of Rajinikanth’s character, Muthuvel Pandian, shared a story from her first day of shooting in Attappady, Kerala, to mark the 26th anniversary of Padayappa.
Other key cast members include actress Mirna, who plays Rajinikanth’s daughter-in-law, Swetha Pandian, as well as Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi, who have also completed shooting their portions.
Music composer Anirudh Ravichander, whose score played a key role in the success of the first part, is returning to compose the soundtrack for Jailer 2.
With Shah Rukh Khan joining the team and a powerful action story, Jailer 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.
