Rajinikanth starrer Jailer 2 is currently filming and is one of the eagerly awaited films of 2026.

In Jailer 2, however, the song sequence will feature Nora Fatehi and not Tamannaah. As per reports, the current shooting schedule will last 8 days. It is expected that Nora will not just feature in Jailer 2 song but could also have some scenes in the movie with Rajinikanth, essentially making it a Tamannaah-like cameo in the sequel with a fresh face. Since Anirudh Ravichander is composing for Jailer 2, he is expected to belt out a bigger hit this time around.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is also set to feature in a film which is being bankrolled by Kamal Haasan's production house. While Sundar C was announced as the director of the project initially, he has backed down from it. The team is currently on the lookout for a new director to helm this biggie.
