Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 continues to create massive buzz months ahead of its release. Besides starring the mega star, the film also features an ensemble star-cast and cameos from prominent people. Reports were rife that Shah Rukh Khan has a cameo in the film but now it is being reported that Hrithik Roshan has replaced the actor.
Hrithik’s appearance in the film will also mark his on-screen reunion with Thalaiva after four decades. The duo had appeared together in the film Bhagwaan Dada, where a young Hrithik had played the role of Rajinikanth’s foster son.
As per a report in Variety India, multiple look tests are being planned for the actor for his ‘action-heavy’ role. He is expected to shoot his portions in Chennai on June 22 and 23.
Shah Rukh Khan was in talks for the cameo but the superstar reportedly stepped away due to date clashes.
Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is a sequel to his 2023 blockbuster Jailer. It is being positioned as a mass entertainer, with a star-studded ensemble that includes confirmed appearances from Kamal Haasan, Shiva Rajkumar, Mohanlal and Nandamuri Balakrishna.
It will release theatrically on September 11.
