Shivanna shared this update while speaking to the media in Mumbai at the trailer launch of his upcoming film 45, which features Upendra and is set to release in multiple languages on August 15.
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth kicked off the Jailer 2 shoot in March in Chennai, and the second schedule is now taking place in Kerala, which is expected to last for 20 days. While the filming for Jailer 2 progresses, this major update from Shivanna has sparked joy among fans.
In Jailer, Dr Shivarajkumar made a powerful cameo as Narasimha, an ex-convict—a role that not only struck a chord with audiences but also boosted his popularity even further. Reports suggest that Shivanna has given a 15-day call sheet for the film.
Helmed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer 2 brings back superstar Rajinikanth as the lead actor, reprising his role as Muthuvel Pandian. Backed by Kalanithi Maran under the banner Sun Pictures, Anirudh Ravichander is returning in the sequel as the music composer.
