12 Oct
Summary
- Vidya Balan felt nervous about a smoking scene with Rajinikanth.
- Rajinikanth wished for a Tamannaah Bhatia song in Jailer 2.
- Jailer 2 continues Rajinikanth's role as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian.
Director Nelson Dilipkumar recounted a memorable and funny incident from the 'Jailer 2' set involving actress Vidya Balan. Balan was reportedly nervous about her powerful role opposite Rajinikanth, especially concerning a scene where she had to smoke and direct the smoke towards the superstar. Nelson described her initial hesitation, noting her trembling hand during the first takes, but acknowledged they eventually captured the scene correctly after several attempts. Even with the scene completed, Nelson observed a hint of tension in Balan's eyes.
In related news, Rajinikanth had expressed a wish to see Tamannaah Bhatia featured in a song for 'Jailer 2'. He shared this with Nelson, suggesting it would appeal to audience preferences, referencing the immense popularity of Bhatia's song 'Kaavaalaa' in the 2023 film 'Jailer'. Nelson, however, maintained that artistic decisions should not be solely based on personal liking, explaining his directorial approach.
'Jailer 2' is set to continue the narrative of Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, portrayed by Rajinikanth, picking up from the events of the 2023 predecessor. The film will see the return of several supporting cast members, including Ramya Krishnan and Yogi Babu. New additions to the ensemble cast include S. J. Suryah and Mithun Chakraborty. The film is slated for release on October 15.
