After the thunderous success of Jailer (2023), the anticipation surrounding its sequel Jailer 2 is reaching fever pitch. With Superstar Rajinikanth returning under the direction of Nelson Dilipkumar, fans were already thrilled. But now, the buzz surrounding the film has taken a massive leap — all thanks to one explosive rumor: Tollywood lion Nandamuri Balakrishna might be joining the cast.
A Powerful Role for a Powerful Star?
According to the latest reports doing the rounds on social media, Balakrishna is being considered for the role of a fierce and uncompromising Andhra Pradesh police officer — a role reminiscent of his iconic performances in Lakshmi Narasimha and Rowdy Inspector.
Rajinikanth–Balakrishna Combo:
Cine circles are buzzing with talk of a high-voltage elevation scene between Rajinikanth and Balakrishna — a five-minute cinematic blast that promises to bring the house down. Analysts predict that this scene alone could become a highlight of the film, with theatres erupting in whistles, cheers, and goosebumps when these two titans collide.
Secrecy Surrounds the Casting:
Despite the mounting excitement, the makers of Jailer 2 have remained tight-lipped. There’s been no official confirmation from Sun Pictures or the actors involved. Yet, insiders hint that Balakrishna has allocated nearly 20 days for the shoot and his character will enjoy approximately 40 minutes of screen presence.
The Price of Power:
Whispers also suggest that Balakrishna has demanded a staggering remuneration of Rs. 50 crore for his role — a figure that Sun Pictures is reportedly ready to meet, given the massive hype his presence is expected to generate.
A Galaxy of Stars Returns:
Adding to the grandeur, Jailer 2 will not only see Rajinikanth reprise his role, but also bring back stalwarts like Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar, who played key roles in the first installment. The sequel is shaping up to be a multi-starrer spectacle like never before.
