On Monday, we reported that Rajinikanth returned to Chennai after wrapping the shoot for his next, Nelson's Jailer 2. On Tuesday, Jaffer Sadiq, who also played a part in Jailer alongside Rajinikanth, penned a note on reuniting with the veteran actor for the sequel.

He wrote, "Once again with my #Superstar. Being around you brings back the same butterflies in my heart, the same smile that lights up my face, and those daily salutes in your iconic style that never fail to inspire. Every moment spent with you turns into a beautiful memory I cherish forever." (sic)

Jailer 2, which comes three years after Jailer, will see Rajinikanth reprising his role as 'Tiger' Muthuvel Pandian, alongside Ramya Krishnan, who plays his wife. While Shivarajkumar has confirmed his cameo reprisal in Jailer 2, the presence of other senior actors like Mohanlal and Jackie Shroff is yet to be confirmed. Vinayakan will also be seen in the upcoming film, despite his character's demise in the 2023 film.

New names added to the ensemble this time around include Mithun Chakraborty, Santhanam, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Vijay Sethupathi, Meghana Raj Sarja and Anna Rajan. Other big names like Shah Rukh Khan, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, and Mirnaa are also expected to be part of the sequel's cast. There is also buzz about the appearance of Nora Fatehi in a dance number.

Plot details of the film are currently under wraps. Jailer 2 is produced by Kalanithi Maran under his Sun Pictures banner. On the technical front, the film has music by Anirudh. The first film's technical team members, such as cinematographer Vijay Kartik Kannan and editor R Nirmal, are also coming back for the sequel.

While Rajinikanth initially announced June 12 as the film's release date, new speculations suggest the film will only hit theatres on August 12. The makers are yet to confirm the same.
