Jailer 2 continues to gather momentum, with two major updates now fueling excitement among fans. In a recent promotional interview, actor Vinayakan, who delivered a powerful performance as the lead antagonist in Rajinikanth’s Jailer, confirmed that he is part of the sequel as well. While he refrained from revealing details about his role, his confirmation strongly indicates that Jailer 2 may feature not only sequel-driven portions but also significant flashback sequences that connect to the original – possibly exploring prequel elements involving his character.
Adding to the excitement, it has now been confirmed that Mohanlal has joined the sets of Jailer 2. The Malayalam superstar is currently shooting for his portions over the next two to three days and is expected to return for another schedule in the third week of December. His presence further elevates the project’s scale, reaffirming that the sequel is shaping up as a star-studded mass action entertainer.
With multiple major names like SRK, Vijay Sethupathi coming together, Jailer 2 is clearly progressing at a brisk pace, backed by strong production plans and extensive schedule blocks.
Directed by Nelson, with music by Anirudh Ravichander and produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 is set for a grand worldwide release on June 12, 2026. As shooting continues with an ensemble of celebrated actors, expectations are steadily mounting for what promises to be one of 2026’s biggest theatrical events.
