Mithun Chakraborty and Rajinikanth, two of Indian cinema’s biggest stars, are set to share the screen again after nearly 30 years in the upcoming film ‘Jailer 2’.
The actors last appeared together in ‘Bhrashtachar’ (1989), followed by Rajinikanth’s cameo in Mithun’s ‘Bhagyavidhaata’ (1995).
Production on Jailer 2 is already underway. Mithun has completed portions of his shoot, while Rajinikanth is scheduled to join filming later this week. The film is expected to release next year.
The first instalment, Jailer (2023), directed by Nelson Dilip Kumar, was a major box office success, grossing more than ₹600 crore worldwide. Anticipation for the sequel is already high.
Filming is taking place at multiple locations across India, including Chennai.
