Superstar Rajinikanth is presently engaged in the shoot of Jailer 2, and a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the sets has gone viral recently. Uploaded by Sun Pictures on Diwali through their X handle, the clip offers glimpses of high-octane action stunts and light-hearted moments from the set. “Wishing everyone a super Deepavali. Here’s an exclusive BTS from #Jailer2 #HappyDeepavali,” the post read. Supporters were quick to respond, with one inquiring into the return of Dr Shiva Rajkumar and another pointing towards the Bolt camera, suggesting some high-voltage action sequences.
Addressing the press, Rajinikanth also confirmed that he is in Kerala presently for a six-day shoot schedule and disclosed that the film should be wrapped up by June 2025, with the release planned by the end of the year. This update brings a sigh of relief to the fans, putting months of suspense regarding the timeline of the sequel behind them.
Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, will have Rajinikanth reprise his character as ‘Tiger’ Muthuvel Pandian with even more powerful adversaries to contend with. The returning cast is Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, and Mirnaa. SJ Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Anna Rajan are the new cast members joining the film. Special appearances by Shiva Rajkumar and Mohanlal, and long cameos by Nandamuri Balakrishna and Mithun Chakraborty, will be additional star power for the film.

Anirudh Ravichander will again be composing, with another stunning score in store. The initial Jailer (2023) had been a huge box office hit, cementing Nelson’s reputation as a top director.
Rajinikanth is also all set to team up with Kamal Haasan after 46 years for a production by Raaj Kamal Films and Red Giant Films, likely to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. His previous release, Coolie, was an action entertainer with the likes of Nagarjuna and Aamir Khan starring.
