"Shah Rukh Khan's role in the film will be like an extended cameo. - Sources"

Chennai, Feb 21

If sources in the industry are to be believed, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan is to shoot for Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Jailer 2' in March this year.

Sources in the unit say that only Shah Rukh Khan's portions remain to be shot and that the Bollywood star will begin shooting for his portions in the film in March this year. Once Shah Rukh's portions, which will be shot over a period of seven to eight days, are shot, the film will be wrapped.

Sources also inform that Shah Rukh Khan's role in the film will be like an extended cameo.

Director Nelson Dilipkumar's 'Jailer 2' has triggered huge anticipation among fans and film buffs for several reasons.

One of the prime reasons is that 'Jailer 2' promises to have loads of action and entertainment just like the first part which went on to emerge a blockbuster, raking in a whopping 650 crores worldwide. 'Jailer 1', which opened to positive reviews, took a strong opening. In fact, the film's overseas distributor Ayngaran International confirmed that the film had made a whopping 33 crores on its very first day, the highest in Superstar Rajinikanth's career!

Sources close to the unit say that 'Jailer 2' is shaping up well on the lines of 'Jailer 1'.

It may be recalled that Superstar Rajinikanth had celebrated his 75th birthday on the sets of 'Jailer 2' last year.

Shooting of the second part of 'Jailer' began in Chennai first. Sun Pictures, the production house producing the action entertainer, had announced that shooting for the film had commenced on March 10 last year.

Interest in the film peaked when Sun Pictures released an exceptionally interesting teaser that was both funny and thrilling.

Not long after this, actress Ramya Krishnan shared a story on her first day of shooting for the second part of the film which was going on at Attapaadi in Kerala.

She said, "26 years of Padayappa and the first day shoot of Jailer 2."

Ramya Krishnan plays the character of Vijaya Pandian a.k.a Viji, the wife of Rajinikanth's character Muthuvel Pandian, in the film.

Sources say that actress Mirnaa, who plays Swetha Pandian, Rajinikanth's daughter-in -law in the film, too will have a pivotal role in the sequel. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi too have shot for 'Jailer 2'.

Anirudh, whose music played a vital role in making the first part emerge a blockbuster, is scoring the music for the second part as well.

Exciting news, but I hope it's not just a publicity stunt. An "extended cameo" for SRK sounds interesting, but the story should be strong enough on its own. Rajini sir's charisma and Nelson's direction were the real heroes of the first part.

650 crores for Jailer 1! That's insane. The combo of Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Vijay Sethupathi, and now SRK? Sun Pictures is creating a cinematic universe. My only request: please don't spoil the cameo in the trailers!

As someone who loved the first film, I'm thrilled. But I genuinely hope the focus remains on Ramya Krishnan's character. Her "Viji" was the soul of Jailer. More screen time for her, please!

Anirudh's BGM is half the battle won. The man is a genius. If the music is as punchy as the first one and SRK makes a stylish entry, this will break all box office records. March can't come soon enough for the shoot to wrap up!

Respectfully, while star cameos are fun, I hope the sequel has a tighter script. The first film had some pacing issues in the second half. Fingers crossed Nelson sir focuses on a crisp narrative alongside all the star power.
