Before his spiritual trip, Rajinikanth had returned from Kerala, where he wrapped up a key schedule for Jailer 2. Upon arriving in Chennai, he confirmed that the film is set to release on June 12, 2026, and shared that the shooting is progressing well.
The film is reportedly expected to wrap by December this year or January next year. This provides the makers adequate time to complete the post-production works for a mid-2026 release.
Rajinikanth’s upcoming films
Rajinkanth last starred in the lead role in Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film narrates the story of Devaraj, a former daily wage worker and union leader who has been living in the shadows for 30 years.
After his best friend and brother-in-law, Rajasekhar, passes away, Deva grows suspicious about his death and begins his own investigation. As he uncovers long-buried secrets, he learns of a powerful crime syndicate linked not only to his friend’s death but also to his own past.
In addition to Rajinikanth, Coolie featured a star-studded cast including Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, and a cameo appearance by Aamir Khan.
Following Jailer 2, Rajinikanth is also set to star alongside his longtime friend and counterpart Kamal Haasan in an upcoming film. However, official confirmation regarding the director is still awaited.
