Jailer 2, the sequel to the 2023 blockbuster, is easily the most highly anticipated Kollywood film of 2026. With Superstar Rajinikanth returning to his iconic role as ‘Tiger’ Muthuvel Pandian, the expectations are soaring high in trade circles as the first part shattered numerous box office records. The makers are planning to release it next year.
While the shoot proceeds at a brisk pace, the sequel is turning out to be a star-studded affair with several big names joining the cast with each passing day. The latest reports suggest that versatile actor Vijay Sethupathi has joined the film for a significant role. It is heard that Vijay has commenced shooting for his role in the ongoing Goa schedule. This marks the reunion of Rajinikanth with Vijay Sethupathi after Petta.
Jailer 2 features a host of actors like Ramya Krishna, Yogi Babu and Mirna. Recently, Bollywood actress Vidya Balan landed a prominent character in the film. She will be seen as Mithun Chakraborty’s elder daughter. There are several cameo roles by top-league actors from different languages in this movie.
Already, Kannada superstar Shivaraj Kumar and Malayalam thespian Mohan Lal have been confirmed to be a part of Jailer 2. Tamil actor SJ Surya will also appear in a brief role. Tollywood top-tier actor Balakrishna was also approached for a special role. However, he has reportedly turned down the offer and Pushpa fame Fahad Fasil is likely to replace Balakrishna.
With Vijay Sethupathi joining the long list, Jailer 2 is only getting bigger and bigger. It would be interesting to see how director Nelson Dilip Kumar handles these many cameos from big-ticket actors.
