The buzz around ‘Jailer’, the upcoming action thriller starring Rajinikanth as a tough cop who takes on a notorious idol smuggling racket, is getting louder by the day. The film, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is expected to begin on floors later this year and has already generated a lot of curiosity among the fans.

But it seems that there is more to the story than meets the eye. According to a reliable source, Nelson Dilipkumar has already started working on the script for the sequel, tentatively titled ‘Jailer 2’. And the surprise element is that Nayanthara, who played the lead role in Nelson’s debut film ‘Kolamavu Kokila’, will reprise her character of Kokila, a middle-class girl who gets involved in a drug smuggling operation, in ‘Jailer 2’.

The source reveals that ‘Jailer 2’ will be a continuation of the events that happened in ‘Jailer’, where Rajinikanth’s character Muthuvel Pandian, a former police, busts the idol smuggling kingpin Varma (Vinayakan) and his gang. However, Varma’s associates, who are still at large, will seek revenge on Muthuvel Pandian and his family. In a twist of fate, Muthuvel Pandian will cross paths with Kokila, who will have a crucial role to play in the plot.

“Nelson has a knack for creating interesting characters and situations. He has already written the outline for ‘Jailer 2’ and is working on the details. He wants to bring back Nayanthara as Kokila, who was a huge hit among the audience. He has a unique idea of how to connect her story with Rajinikanth’s. It will be a treat for the fans to see them together on screen.

If this news turns out to be true, ‘Jailer 2’ will mark the sixth collaboration between Nayanthara and Rajinikanth, after ‘Chandramukhi’, ‘Kuselan’, ‘Sivaji’, ‘Darbar’, and ‘Annaththe’. However, we will have to wait for an official confirmation from the makers of 'Jailer 2’ before we get too excited.
