Rajinikanth Fans Wait Overnight in Kerala to Witness ‘Jailer 2’ Shoot

The excitement surrounding Jailer 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2023 blockbuster Jailer, reached fever pitch in Kerala as fans gathered in massive numbers to witness the film’s shoot. With Rajinikanth returning to reprise his iconic role, the production team recently began filming key sequences in the picturesque locales of Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. The presence of the superstar has sparked a frenzy among local fans, many of whom waited for hours—some even overnight—just to catch a glimpse of him.

According to reports, hundreds of fans lined up outside the shooting location near Kovalam beach, braving the late-night chill and security restrictions. Videos circulating on social media show fans chanting “Thalaivar” and waving posters as Rajinikanth arrived on set around 2 AM. Despite tight security, the actor acknowledged the crowd with folded hands and a smile, sending waves of cheer through the gathering.

 

The shoot reportedly involves high-octane action sequences and emotional scenes, with director Nelson Dilipkumar once again at the helm. Sources close to the production revealed that the Kerala schedule will last for about two weeks, after which the team will move to Hyderabad for the next leg. The film is expected to feature a stellar ensemble cast, including Shiva Rajkumar, Tamannaah Bhatia, and a rumored cameo by Mohanlal.

Fan enthusiasm for Jailer 2 reflects Rajinikanth’s enduring legacy and the cultural impact of his films across South India. Local authorities have urged fans to maintain decorum and avoid crowding the sets, but the passion remains undeterred. With the film slated for a mid-2026 release, the buzz around Jailer 2 is only growing stronger, promising another cinematic spectacle from the Thalaivar.
