One of the biggest casting surprises of the year may have just become reality. According to recent reports, Hrithik Roshan is set to make a special appearance in Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth. The actor is reportedly scheduled to shoot his portions in Chennai on June 22 and 23.
While fans initially expected Shah Rukh Khan to be part of the film, reports suggest that scheduling conflicts prevented the collaboration from happening. Hrithik Roshan has now reportedly stepped in for the high-profile role.
Interestingly, this will mark a special reunion between Hrithik Roshan and Rajinikanth nearly 40 years after they appeared together in Bhagwaan Dada (1986), where a young Hrithik shared screen space with the superstar.
Reports indicate that Hrithik’s role will be much more than a brief guest appearance. His character is expected to enter the story at a crucial point and play an important role in helping Rajinikanth’s character move the narrative forward.
The makers are also reportedly planning a unique look for Hrithik, with look tests expected before filming begins. However, Sun Pictures and the film’s team have not yet officially confirmed the casting.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer 2 is among the most anticipated Indian films currently in production. With Rajinikanth leading the cast and Hrithik Roshan reportedly joining the action, excitement among fans has reached a new level.
An official announcement from the makers is still awaited, but if the reports turn out to be true, audiences could witness one of the most exciting collaborations in recent Indian cinema.
