Reports had surfaced that Shah Rukh Khan would be joining superstar Rajinikanth in his upcoming actioner, Jailer 2. However, a report by Box Office South India has denied these rumors, stating that Shah Rukh Khan is not part of the film. According to the report, the makers are trying to bring a Bollywood hero for a cameo role in the film. Jailer 2 will see Rajinikanth reprise his role as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, the fierce former jail warden.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer 2 will pick up from where the first film left off. The original movie had surprise cameos from Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jackie Shroff. There are reports that Telugu cinema legends Nandamuri Balakrishna and Nagarjuna Akkineni may join the sequel. While Balakrishna is likely to make a guest appearance, Akkineni has been approached for the main antagonist. The film promises to be an action-packed thrill ride with a star-studded cast.
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is busy with his upcoming film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film will hit theaters on August 14, 2025, and features Aamir Khan in a special cameo role. Rajinikanth's films always generate significant interest among fans, and Coolie is expected to be no exception. The film's release will be followed by Jailer 2, which is likely to be another major hit given Rajinikanth's popularity.
Aamir Khan will next be seen in King, co-starring Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, and Arshad Warsi, among others. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and promises to be an exciting project with a talented cast. With several big-ticket films lined up, the second half of the year is shaping up to be an exciting time for Bollywood and South Indian cinema fans.
