Hrithik Roshan Confirmed for Key Cameo in Rajinikanth's Jailer 2PreviousNext

Hrithik Roshan is confirmed to make a significant action-heavy cameo in Rajinikanth's upcoming film Jailer 2, marking their first on-screen reunion in nearly 40 years since Bhagwaan Dada (1986). Hrithik will shoot his portions in Chennai on June 22 and 23, with multiple look tests planned for a fresh character appearance. His role is expected to be pivotal in advancing the plot. Shah Rukh Khan was initially considered but withdrew due to scheduling conflicts. The film targets a September 2026 release and features other notable cameos.
