In a major buzzworthy development, reports suggest that Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna (Balaiya) is all set to appear in Jailer 2, the sequel to Rajinikanth’s blockbuster Jailer. What’s more, sources claim that Sun Pictures has agreed to the massive salary demanded by Balakrishna for his role.

Directed by Nelson, Jailer was one of the biggest hits of 2023, raking in over ₹600 crore at the global box office. Riding on that massive success, Jailer 2 is now in production, and expectations are sky-high.

The sequel already boasts the return of stars like Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar, and Jackie Shroff, who made special appearances in the first installment. Now, with reports of Balakrishna joining the cast for a powerful cameo, the excitement has doubled. Sources say the actor has allotted a 20-day schedule for his role and quoted a fee of ₹50 crore — a demand that Sun Pictures is said to have accepted without hesitation.

If confirmed, Jailer 2 will mark the first-ever on-screen collaboration between Rajinikanth and Balakrishna, a pairing that fans of South Indian cinema have long wished for. With two legendary mass stars sharing the screen, the film is already shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events in recent memory.
