In exciting news for fans of the 2023 blockbuster, actor Vinayakan has officially announced his participation in the highly anticipated sequel, 'Jailer 2'. This confirmation comes despite the dramatic fate of his character in the first film, setting the stage for a surprising narrative twist.
Vinayakan's Unexpected Comeback
During the promotional activities for his upcoming Malayalam film 'Kalamkaval', Vinayakan revealed to Reporter TV that he will indeed be part of the 'Jailer' franchise again. This revelation is particularly intriguing because his character, Narasimhan, was killed in the climax of the original 'Jailer'. The actor, however, chose to remain tight-lipped about how director Nelson and the creative team plan to revive or reinterpret his role for the sequel.
Vinayakan expressed his fondness for the character, stating that Narasimhan was the best comedy character he has played and loved. His return strongly suggests that the sequel might incorporate flashback sequences or explore events connected to the first film's plot.
Mohanlal Joins the Fray Post-'Drishyam 3'
As production on 'Jailer 2' gains momentum, another major development has surfaced. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal was recently spotted flying to join the shoot. The news was confirmed by a selfie shared by designer Jishad Shamsudheen from their flight, indicating that Mohanlal is en route to reprise his popular role as Mathew.
Interestingly, the veteran actor boarded the shoot immediately after wrapping up the filming of 'Drishyam 3'. This back-to-back schedule highlights the busy slate of the star, who was also recently seen on the sets of his daughter Vismaya's debut film 'Thudakkam'.
Star-Studded Cast and 'Kalamkaval' Buzz
Directed by Nelson, 'Jailer 2' will once again feature the legendary Rajinikanth in the lead role of 'Tiger' Muthuvel Pandian. He will be joined by Ramya Krishnan, who returns as his wife. Alongside Vinayakan and Mohanlal, Kannada star Shivarajkumar is also expected to reprise his role, promising another powerhouse ensemble.
Meanwhile, the film Vinayakan is currently promoting, 'Kalamkaval', has created its own buzz. At its pre-release event, megastar Mammootty made a surprising revelation. He confirmed that Vinayakan plays the protagonist of the film, while he himself takes on the antagonist's role. Mammootty humorously stated, “The hero of this film is Vinayakan, and I am also the hero… but the villain.” He added that his character might be difficult for audiences to like immediately, hinting at a complex and intense performance.
The confirmation of Vinayakan's return has significantly heightened anticipation for 'Jailer 2', leaving fans eager to see how the makers will weave his character back into the story alongside the formidable lineup of Indian cinema's biggest stars.
