Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty has sparked fresh excitement online after hinting at a possible Shah Rukh Khan appearance in Jailer 2. The sequel to Rajinikanth’s 2023 blockbuster Jailer is already among the most anticipated films, and Mithun’s recent remarks have added fuel to the buzz. Slated for a June 2026 release, the film is shaping up to be a massive multi-starrer.
Mithun’s Statement That Set Social Media On Fire
In an interview with Siti Cinema, Mithun Chakraborty spoke about his upcoming projects and confirmed his role in Jailer 2. While describing his character arc, he mentioned that every major character in the film stands against him. Naming the cast, Mithun included Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Ramya Krishnan, Shiva Rajkumar — and notably, Shah Rukh Khan. This single mention was enough to ignite widespread speculation.
Could This Be SRK And Rajinikanth’s First Proper Collaboration?
If Shah Rukh Khan’s involvement is confirmed, it would mark the first time the two superstars share screen space in a full-fledged theatrical film. Although Rajinikanth appeared as Chitti in Ra.One (2011), the two legends never acted together in scenes. Fans have long hoped to see SRK and Rajinikanth face off or collaborate on screen, making this possibility especially exciting.
A Power-Packed Ensemble Takes Shape
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and backed by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 reunites Rajinikanth with Ramya Krishnan. Reports and earlier hints suggest that Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar and Vidya Balan may also be part of the cast. With multiple heavyweights involved, the sequel is expected to expand the universe of Jailer with higher stakes, bigger action set pieces and layered character arcs.
Makers Yet To Confirm SRK’s Role
Despite the growing buzz, the makers of Jailer 2 have not officially confirmed Shah Rukh Khan’s participation. No announcement has been made regarding his role or screen time. Until then, Mithun Chakraborty’s comment remains the strongest hint, keeping fans eagerly waiting for clarity

Whether Shah Rukh Khan is truly part of Jailer 2 or not, the speculation alone has elevated anticipation for the film. With Rajinikanth at the centre and a potentially explosive ensemble around him, Jailer 2 is already shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2026. An official update from the makers could soon turn rumours into reality.
