Mohanlal's Body Double Clarifies Limited Role in Jailer 2 Amid Climax Speculation

Analysed 21 Oct 2026·4 sources analysed·Canada·Entertainment
Mohanlal's Body Double Clarifies Limited Role in Jailer 2 Amid Climax SpeculationPreviousNext

Mohanlal's body double, Joby Kodakara, clarified his limited role in the film Jailer 2 amid speculation about his involvement in the climax. He stated that only brief shots of his hands and legs were used, mainly in the airport sequence, and his face does not appear in the film. The controversy arose after Joby shared photos on social media, which he later called a mistake. The film's action director also confirmed that Mohanlal himself appeared in all key scenes, dismissing rumors of a body double replacing the actor.
