Hrithik Roshan enters the Jailer 2 universe<\/p>\n
According to a report by Variety India, Hrithik is set to shoot his portions in Chennai on June 22 and 23. While the makers are keeping details tightly sealed, this isn\u2019t being positioned as a blink-and-miss appearance. Instead, his character is expected to land at a crucial juncture in the narrative, actively pushing forward the storyline and assisting Rajinikanth\u2019s Tiger Muthuvel Pandian in a major way.<\/p>\n
The report also suggests that the team is building a look and presence tailored specifically for this role. A series of look tests is reportedly planned right before filming begins, hinting that Hrithik\u2019s screen presence will come with a distinct visual identity rather than a familiar star image.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a nostalgic twist behind this casting. Back in 1986, Hrithik once appeared alongside Rajinikanth in Bhagwaan Dada, not as a co-star in the modern sense, but as a child actor. He played the foster son of Rajinikanth\u2019s character. <\/p>\n
Why Shah Rukh Khan stepped away<\/p>\n
Before Hrithik entered the picture, the special cameo was widely expected to bring Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan together on screen, a pairing that had fans buzzing with excitement.<\/p>\n
But that plan didn\u2019t move forward. As reported by Mid-day, Shah Rukh opted out primarily due to his commitment to King.<\/p>\n
