Mumbai, June 11 - One of the biggest crossover moments in Indian cinema is reportedly set to become a reality. According to the latest reports, the much-discussed cameo in Rajinikanth's highly anticipated action entertainer Jailer 2 has now been finalised, and it is not Shah Rukh Khan's or Aamir Khan's, but of Hrithik Roshan, with the actor reportedly agreeing to come on board. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Variety India, the development comes after weeks of speculation regarding a major Bollywood superstar making a special appearance in Nelson Dilipkumar's sequel. It is said that Hrithik has agreed to play a powerful character in the film, and the makers have already locked the shooting dates for his portions. The War actor will shoot for his sequence on June 22 and June 23 in Chennai. Unlike a brief guest appearance, the role is said to be a substantial cameo designed to have a significant impact on the narrative. The team is reportedly planning a grand introduction sequence for the Bollywood superstar, making it one of the film's biggest highlights. Reports earlier indicated that Shah Rukh Khan was being considered for the same role. However, scheduling conflicts and commitments to his upcoming projects reportedly prevented the collaboration from materialising.

Jailer 2 has generated massive buzz ever since production began, with Rajinikanth returning as the iconic Muthuvel Pandian. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and backed by Sun Pictures, the sequel is expected to feature several surprise appearances and large-scale action sequences. Reports also suggest that additional shooting schedules are being planned to accommodate key cameo portions and elevate the film's scale even further. While the cameo is yet to be confirmed officially, Jailer 2 will mark the first on-screen collaboration between Rajinikanth and Hrithik Roshan in their adult careers. Produced by Sun Pictures, the film is expected to release this September.
