Excitement surrounding Jailer 2 continues to grow, with fresh reports suggesting that Hrithik Roshan has completed shooting for his special cameo appearance in the highly anticipated film starring Rajinikanth.
The actor reportedly wrapped up his portions over a two-day shooting schedule in Chennai, adding another major element to the much-awaited sequel.
Pinkvilla quoted a source saying, “Nelson Dilipkumar has designed a larger-than-life character for Hrithik Roshan in Jailer 2. He has a solid introductory sequence, leading to a combination scene with Rajinikanth, and this entire episode is said to be one of the major highlights of Jailer 2. It’s a dynamic cameo, designed to receive claps and whistles from the audience. His cameo comes at a key juncture in the film, and contributes majorly in taking the story forward. He will be sporting a distinct look in the film, and the same has been kept under wraps,” the source informed, pointing out that tight security was present on the set amid the shoot. “They followed a no-phone policy on the set to avoid leaks.”
The source further said, “Hrithik has utmost respect for Rajinikanth, as he is actually the first ever actor he worked with as a child artist back in the 80s. Hrithik was visibly humbled to be in the megastar’s presence and sought Rajinikanth’s blessing by touching his feet upon arrival. Hrithik expressed his nervousness before giving the first shot. Both actors received a mighty thumbs up from director Nelson upon wrap. It was a delight for onlookers on set to see the two Superstars come alive onscreen. Between takes, the two passionately discussed cinema, and also discussed their personal lives, where Rajinikanth warmly enquired about Hrithik’s sons – Hridaan and Hrehaan. It was heartwarming to witness both of them together.”
