The development has naturally sent fans into a frenzy, especially because Hrithik’s possible association with Rajinikanth’s action drama has been discussed for some time. However, as of now, there has been no official word from the makers of Jailer 2 or from Hrithik’s team.
Earlier reports had claimed that Shah Rukh Khan was being considered for the cameo role. However, the actor was reportedly unable to take up the part due to his commitments to King. Following this, reports suggested that the team was exploring the possibility of bringing Hrithik Roshan on board for the appearance.
If Hrithik does appear in the film, it would add another massive star presence to a sequel that is already expected to be mounted on a much bigger scale.
More About Jailer 2
Jailer 2 is the sequel to Rajinikanth’s blockbuster action entertainer Jailer. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film will see Rajinikanth reprising his role as Muthuvel Pandian.
The sequel is expected to continue the story after the events of the first film, while expanding the world of the franchise with new characters and bigger action set pieces. The first film had become a massive success and was widely discussed for Rajinikanth’s screen presence, Nelson’s treatment and Anirudh Ravichander’s music.
Apart from Rajinikanth, Jailer 2 reportedly features Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah and Suraj Venjaramoodu in key roles. Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar are also expected to reprise their characters from the first instalment.

Apart from Jailer 2, Rajinikanth is also expected to headline the tentatively titled Thalaivar 173. The film is being co-produced by Kamal Haasan under his banner Raaj Kamal Films International.
Earlier reports had suggested that Sundar C would direct the project. Later, it was reported that Cibi Chakravarthi had come on board as the filmmaker. However, recent buzz claims that Dragon fame Ashwath Marimuthu may helm the film with a fresh storyline. An official announcement regarding the director and other details is still awaited.
