Nora Fatehi joins Rajinikanth for a high-octane dance number in Jailer 2; Filming begins in Chennai
The anticipation for Superstar Rajinikanth's sequel Jailer 2 has escalated to new heights with reports of a glamorous addition to the cast. In a move that promises to set the screens on fire, buzz suggests that global dancing sensation Nora Fatehi has joined the team for a high-octane special appearance. It is reported that the actress has touched down in Chennai to shoot a high-energy dance number alongside Thalaivar. The track, composed by the hit-machine Anirudh Ravichander, is reportedly being filmed on a grand outdoor set, with the schedule expected to last for eight days. Unlike her typical Bollywood chartbusters, reports indicate that this song carries distinct South Indian influences, designed as a mass anthem to rival the viral success of Kaavaalaa from the first installment.

While core members like Ramya Krishnan and Yogi Babu are reprising their roles, the sequel has added significant firepower with the inclusion of the versatile SJ Suryah in a pivotal role. Adding to the intrigue, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported earlier that the powerhouse performer Vidya Balan has also come on board, marking a significant casting coup. With Sun Pictures backing the project, the production is moving at a rapid pace across locations in Chennai and Kerala, ensuring the scale surpasses its predecessor. As for when fans can witness this spectacle, the timeline is becoming clearer. In a recent media interaction, Superstar Rajinikanth himself hinted that the team is targeting a June 2026 release, though trade circles speculate the makers might eye the lucrative Independence Day window in August 2026 for a massive Pan-India opening. With Anirudh's music, Nelson's signature dark humor, and reports of Nora Fatehi's electrifying presence, Jailer 2 is shaping up to be a box office monster that could challenge the historic ₹600 crore benchmark set by the first installment.
