Jatin Sarna's Rajinikanth Dream: Villain in Jailer 2

Jatin Sarna, celebrated for his role in 'Sacred Games,' has realized a lifelong ambition by taking on the villainous role in 'Jailer 2,' featuring the legendary Rajinikanth. Sarna sees this as a pivotal moment, a culmination of years of dreaming and dedication. He previously collaborated with Rajinikanth on 'Darbar' in 2020, a prior step towards this current major opportunity. Sarna considers this new role a significant manifestation of his career aspirations. He revealed that a framed picture of Rajinikanth from 'Kaala' with the phrase 'Kya Re' has long been a source of inspiration in his home, driving him towards this achievement. His admiration for Rajinikanth is deep-seated, stemming from his childhood. Sarna also noted his positive experience working in the South Indian film industry, having learned to speak Tamil and receiving compliments on his adaptation to the language.

While rumors circulated about a potential collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, Sarna dismissed them, stating he had no knowledge of such a development and had already completed his shoot. He candidly discussed past career challenges, where audience and peer appreciation did not immediately translate into the substantial roles he desired. Sarna noted that while his fanbase grew and his professional competence became recognized, he wasn't receiving characters with significant depth until recently. He also touched upon setbacks, including the box-office failure of 'Sikandar' (2025), where he played a lead role alongside Salman Khan. This experience led to personal lows and self-doubt, yet Sarna remains resilient, choosing roles selectively and committed to delivering his best, seeking more opportunities to showcase his acting prowess.
