Nelson on Jailer 2

During a recent promotional interview with filmmaker KS Ravikumar, Nelson was asked about when he would start shooting Jailer 2. Nelson, who was accompanied by actor Kavin, revealed that he would soon begin the production of Jailer 2 once leading man Rajinikanth completes his shooting for the upcoming gangster action film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

The director mentioned that although he plans to begin production after Rajinikanth wraps up shooting for Coolie, he is unsure whether the Tamil superstar has any other movies scheduled for filming in between. However, Nelson confirmed that he has not planned any other projects and will swiftly begin working on Jailer 2 after the release of his production venture Bloody Beggar.

Nelson Dilipkumar's 2023 blockbuster Jailer broke several records and earned praise from viewers and critics across the country. Earlier, there were several reports stating that Tamil actor and Rajinikanth's ex-son-in-law, Dhanush, had been approached to play a key role in the film.
