The megastar-led sequel ‘Jailer 2’, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is shifting gears quickly as it enters its next crucial filming phase. After a successful initial schedule in Chennai, the production has now moved to the picturesque terrains of Attappadi, near Coimbatore, with filming officially kicking off on April 11.
Superstar Rajinikanth has already arrived at the scenic Kerala-Tamil Nadu border to resume his role as Muthuvel Pandian, and this schedule promises to be packed with key emotional and action-heavy sequences.
🔁 Familiar Faces Return: Mirnaa Is Back
A heartening return in the sequel is Mirnaa, who played Rajinikanth’s daughter-in-law in the original blockbuster. According to Cinema Vikatan, she’s involved in this new leg of shooting, suggesting that the emotional threads from ‘Jailer’ will be deepened. Fans can expect her character to evolve and take on a more central role, possibly adding gravitas to the family dynamics that stood out in the original film.
🎭 Enter SJ Suryah: A Dynamic New Addition
The big surprise? The addition of actor-director S.J. Suryah in a pivotal role. Known for his intense screen presence and unique performances, Suryah’s inclusion has stirred massive fan excitement. Interestingly, he had once pitched a powerful concept to Rajinikanth involving triple roles and river water issues—though that film didn’t materialize, his collaboration with Thalaivar has finally taken form in Jailer 2.
Sources suggest Suryah was personally keen on being part of the film, and with Nelson’s knack for giving characters strong narrative weight, his role is expected to be a major highlight.
🎬 What’s Next?
The Attappadi schedule is expected to continue for two weeks, covering major scenes with both returning and fresh cast members. Post this, the unit will return to Chennai for the next leg of filming.
With Nelson at the helm, Anirudh likely returning to score the music, and a cast that includes Rajinikanth, Mirnaa, and SJ Suryah, ‘Jailer 2’ is shaping up as a high-octane sequel with emotional depth and a fresh antagonist twist.
