Superstar Rajinikanth and director Nelson are set to join hands once again for Jailer 2, which is the sequel to the 2023 Tamil blockbuster Jailer. Sun Pictures will be producing it, and the official announcement came in the form of a teaser video released on Pongal, January 14, 2025.
The teaser, within the first glance of which everything grabs attention, begins with director Nelson and composer Anirudh Ravichander soaking in a cool, laidback moment in Goa. A news bulletin interrupts them with the fact that a cyclone is now headed towards Chennai.
Nelson cracks up in his usual humorous fashion and says the last time it happened, his last film went past, where five cyclones had come and gone, and Donald Trump came back as President of the United States.

As the two begin brainstorming their next project, they witness a brutal assault by a mysterious figure. The suspense continues to build until the teaser finally reveals the return of the fierce ‘Tiger’ Muthuvel Pandian, the retired jailer whose reputation for justice and danger precedes him.
In the 2023 Jailer, where Rajinikanth plays Muthuvel Pandian, who seeks to avenge the mafia gang menacing his family, Nelson’s fabulous direction and a chart-topping soundtrack by Anirudh have been well credited for such a massive success; it is in fact the top-grossing Tamil movie of the year.
Jailer also featured a great supporting cast, comprising Ramya Krishnan, Tamannaah, Yogi Babu, and Vasanth Ravi; it also includes cameos from industry legends like Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jackie Shroff.
The sequel, Jailer 2, will have the same music composer as the first one, Anirudh. It is once again produced by Kalanithi Maran of Sun Pictures. Fans are waiting with bated breath for news about the plot and cast. The teaser has already set the stage for another adrenaline-packed cinematic experience.
