Notably, Jailer featured TK Vinayakan as the antagonist. The movie was a blockbuster, achieving significant box office success. According to the reports, the movie earned over Rs 556 crore worldwide. Apart from the mass presence of Rajinikanth, the special cameos of Shivrajkumar, Mohanlal and Jackie Shroff played a key role in ensuring the film had a multi-regional pull, contributing to its box office collection.
Well, according to a recent report, to make Jailer 2 grander, the makers have finalised Tollywood King Nagarjuna to play the antagonist after considering half a dozen names.
Reportedly, the decision to rope in Nagarjuna was influenced by his fierce portrayal of Simon in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, in which he plays the antagonist and will be seen locking horns with Rajinikanth.
While the circulating reports have already excited fans, a formal announcement by the makers is awaited. If the reports are anything to go by, the two powerhouses locking horns would undeniably set the screens on fire.
