The excitement for Jailer 2 keeps rising, and now a massive update adds even more buzz. Fresh reports say Nandamuri Balakrishna will play a ruthless police officer in the much-awaited sequel Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth. This casting news surprises fans, especially since Balakrishna continues to deliver back-to-back box office hits.
Director Nelson Dilipkumar leads the Jailer 2 team as they push to raise the stakes after the original film’s historic success. The 2023 film Jailer earned over Rs 600 crore worldwide and became one of South Indian cinema’s biggest blockbusters. Now, with Jailer 2 in production, the team aims to cross Rs 1000 crore globally. Bringing in Balayya could help them achieve that target.
Balakrishna Takes On Intense Cop Role in Jailer 2
Sources confirm that the makers have designed a special cameo for Balakrishna. He will appear as a fierce and commanding police officer, delivering intense action in just 10 to 20 minutes of screen time.
Since Rajinikanth also plays a police officer in the Jailer universe, as shown in the first film’s flashback, fans now expect a strong connection between the two characters. This possible link has already fueled exciting fan theories.
Balakrishna Demands Massive Fee for Short Role
Reports claim that Balakrishna demanded ₹50 crore for his role, and the producers agreed without hesitation. They saw the value in his presence and believed he would boost the film’s mass appeal, especially among Telugu-speaking fans. His inclusion adds star power and could pull in audiences from across South India.
Balakrishna Builds Strong Fanbase Across South
Balakrishna’s recent film Daaku Maharaaj performed well even outside the Telugu-speaking regions. Audiences in Kerala and Tamil Nadu praised his strong performance and the film’s stylish visuals. Despite its predictable plot, the film entertained viewers and expanded Balakrishna’s fanbase further.
