In 2022, Nelson Dilipkumar failed to deliver with Thalapathy Vijay-starrer Beast, which underperformed and received unfavourable reviews from critics and fans alike. The very next year, he came back strong with the hugely successful film Jailer, starring Rajinikanth. The film was a huge comeback of sorts for both Nelson Dilipkumar and Rajinikanth. Jailer surpassed the director’s previous successful films like Kolamaavu Kokila and Doctor to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films. Now, all fans have their eyes directed towards the development of Jailer 2, which has been confirmed by the makers. Rajinikanth and Nelson will both collaborate once again for the sequel, which is said to be even larger in scale than the original.
While filming is yet to begin as Rajinikanth is busy shooting for Coolie, an interesting report regarding the film is doing the rounds on social media. Nelson Dilipkumar’s remuneration for Jailer 2 is reportedly out. If sources are to be believed, the director will take home Rs 60 crore for directing the sequel. However, this figure is not officially confirmed as of yet.
It is interesting to note that it is not just Rajinikanth alone who would return for Jailer 2. All of the other stars who had cameos in the film like Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar will return with larger roles in the sequel, with the franchise having the capacity to become a desi Expendables of sorts. There are also rumours circulating that another major Bollywood star could join the trio in Jailer 2.
Yogi Babu, who had a comedic role in Jailer, shared exciting news about the sequel. In an interview, he disclosed that director Nelson is currently in the pre-production phase of Jailer 2 and is working on a comic subplot for both him and Rajinikanth, similar to the original film. Fans are excited about the news, but the filming schedule is still uncertain. Rajinikanth’s film Vettaiyan is set to release in October and he is currently filming Coolie, which is expected to release next year. Therefore, it is likely that Jailer 2 will be released in the second half of 2025 or later. For now, fans eagerly await an official announcement from the production team.
