Is Vijay Sethupathi a part of Rajinikanth's 'Jailer 2'?

Industry sources claim Vijay Sethupathi has joined Jailer 2 shooting in Goa alongside Rajinikanth, though no official confirmation yet about his role in Nelson's sequel.

"Shooting of Jailer 2 is progressing well. It will be December by the time the film ends. - Rajinikanth"

Chennai, Nov 26

If rumours doing the rounds in the industry are to be believed, one of Tamil cinema's most loved actors Vijay Sethupathi will be seen in a pivotal role in Superstar Rajinikanth's eagerly awaited upcoming film 'Jailer 2'.

Sources in the industry say that Vijay Sethupathi has joined the sets of the film, which is being directed by ace director Nelson. Sources say that the unit of 'Jailer 2' is currently shooting in Goa and that Vijay Sethupathi's portions are now being canned.

However, there has been no official confirmation with regard to Vijay Sethupathi's inclusion in the cast so far.

It may be recalled that Superstar Rajinikanth had, in May this year, said that work on 'Jailer 2' was likely to go on until December.

Talking to reporters while making his way out of the Chennai airport, Rajinikanth had said, "Shooting of Jailer 2 is progressing well. It will be December by the time the film ends."

Jailer 2 has triggered huge interest, thanks to the phenomenal reach of the first part of the film, which went on to emerge a huge blockbuster, raking in around Rs 650 crores.

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 this 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.

Kannada superstar Dr Shiva Rajkumar and Malayalam superstar Mohanlal too are expected to be a part of Jailer 2 as well although there has been no official confirmation in this regard.

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.

Hope this rumour is true! Vijay Sethupathi is one of the finest actors we have. His versatility would add so much depth to the film. Remember his amazing performance in Vikram Vedha? Imagine that level of acting with Thalaivar!

As someone who loved the first Jailer, I'm really excited about this news. The combination of Rajinikanth's star power and Vijay Sethupathi's acting chops could be magical. Hope they confirm this soon!

Let's wait for official confirmation. Too many rumours in Tamil cinema these days. But if it's true, VJS would be perfect as the antagonist against Thalaivar. His subtle acting would create great chemistry with Rajini's style.

With Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar also rumoured to be part of the film, this is shaping up to be a pan-Indian blockbuster! Anirudh's music was the soul of the first film - hope he delivers another chartbuster album. 🤞

While I'm excited about the star cast, I hope the story is strong enough. The first Jailer worked because of its tight screenplay. Hope Nelson doesn't rely only on star power and delivers a solid script that does justice to these amazing actors.
