Shah Rukh Khan to Shoot for Jailer 2 in March

Shah Rukh Khan is set to shoot his cameo for Rajinikanth's upcoming film Jailer 2 in March, with reports stating he'll join the sets for 7-8 days. This marks the final part of the filming process, completing the production of Jailer 2. However, no official announcement regarding Khan's casting has been made yet.

The action-comedy sequel, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, will see Rajinikanth reprise his role as "Tiger" Muthuvel Pandian, with Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar returning to their characters. The cast also includes Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan, and SJ Suryah in a negative role, with Nora Fatehi likely to feature in a special dance number.

Jailer 2 is reportedly eyeing a June 2026 release, with the film's success expected to be a major boost for the box office. The film's storyline picks up directly after the events of the first film, following Muthuvel Pandian as he goes up against an idol-smuggling syndicate seeking revenge.

After Jailer 2, Rajinikanth will lead the cast in the tentatively titled Thalaivar173, directed by Cibi Chakravarthy, expected to be an action entertainer. He is also set to star alongside Kamal Haasan in a film tentatively titled KHxRK. Meanwhile, SRK is currently filming King with Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Suhana Khan, and Deepika Padukone, among others, releasing on December 24, 2026.
