Jailer 2 Set for October Release with Vijay Sethupathi Cameo and Tamil Nadu Rights Talks
Rajinikanth's upcoming film Jailer 2 is set for release on October 15, 2026, generating significant pre-release attention. Reports suggest Vijay Sethupathi will make a 15-minute cameo, an exception to his usual stance, out of respect for Rajinikanth. Meanwhile, Sun Pictures is reportedly considering an outright sale of the Tamil Nadu theatrical rights for around Rs 125 crore, a departure from its typical distribution model, though this deal remains unconfirmed.
