'Jailer' Cast Grows Bigger With An Exciting Addition

Jackie Shroff joins the cast of Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer’

Superstar Rajinikanth will next be seen in the Nelson Dilipkumar directorial Jailer, which already boasts a star-studded cast that includes some of the biggest names from the Film Industry, including Mohanlal, Ramya Krishnan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Sunil, Shiva Rajkumar and Sanjay Dutt. 

Now, the cast of the movie got bigger, with Bollywood star Jackie Shroff joining the other superstars. He was seen in Prabhas starrer Saaho and had also appeared in Pawan Kalyan’s Panjaa in a pivotal role. The makers of ‘Jailer’ released a first look at Jackie Shroff’s character. Check out the poster below:

Rajinikanth and Jackie Shroff had earlier worked together in the 1987 Hindi film ‘Uttar Dakshin’. They also shared screen space in the photorealistic motion capture film, ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ (released in Telugu as Vikramasimha), in 2014.

Backed by Sun Pictures, the movie will be finishing its shoot schedule within a Jail setup in Hyderabad. Although there’s no official confirmation, speculations are rife that Sun Pictures signed Rajinikanth by slashing 50% of his remuneration to make up for his previous box office failure ‘Annaatthe’, which was also produced by Sun Pictures. With Anirudh Ravichander providing the film's background score, Thalaivar’s fans are excited to see their star donning an unyielding look for the action flick.
