Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-awaited sequel Jailer 2 has hit another delay. The film will now go for a month-long reshoot, and this has disappointed fans. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the movie is the follow-up to 2023’s huge blockbuster Jailer. The team decided on reshoots after they were not happy with the rough cut.
Reports say the new shoot will focus on key action parts that need to match the real and grounded style of the first film. Jailer worked because it moved away from over-the-top action and showed Rajinikanth in a simple avatar. It looks like some scenes in the sequel missed that tone, and now the makers want to fix it.
Because of the reshoot, Jailer 2 is now likely to release for Diwali 2026. The earlier talk was about a September 2026 date, but that is ruled out now. The teaser that fans were expecting for months has also not come yet. The delay has upset many viewers who were excited after the success of part one.
Jailer 2 has big expectations as it needs to bring back the same mix of action and realism. Fans still hope the final film will live up to the hype with Rajinikanth returning as Muthuvel Pandian. The wait is longer, but the team wants to get the sequel right before it reaches theatres.
