Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the sequel brings back Rajinikanth as “Tiger” Muthuvel Pandian and has earned over Rs 800 crore worldwide, making it the first Tamil film to cross that mark.

Jailer 2 Plot: What Is the Story?
Jailer 2 picks up three months after the events of the first film, in which retired jailer Muthuvel Pandian took down the idol-smuggling kingpin Varman. Muthuvel is now living a quiet life near Coimbatore with his wife, daughter-in-law and grandson, and works as a supervisor at a supermarket.
That calm does not last. Varman’s associates are searching for the man who destroyed their operation, and Muthuvel is pulled back into the world of idol trading. He secretly works his way into the network, but when his identity is exposed, his family is once again in danger.
This time the enemy is much bigger. Muthuvel finds himself up against Bodhi Kalpak, the head of a far larger smuggling empire. To take him on, he turns to his old allies Mathew, Narasimha and Kamdev, setting up the kind of star-studded showdown that made the first film a hit. The ending also leaves the door open for another chapter.
Jailer 2 Cast
Rajinikanth leads the film as Muthuvel Pandian, with Ramya Krishnan, Mirnaa and Yogi Babu returning from the first part. The sequel adds several big names to the cast, including SJ Suryah, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty and Suraj Venjaramoodu.

As in the first film, the cameos are a big part of the fun. Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar and Jackie Shroff return as Muthuvel’s powerful friends, while Hrithik Roshan and Vijay Sethupathi make special appearances.
Jailer 2 Box Office and Why It Is Worth Watching
Jailer 2 was a massive success in theatres. It collected more than Rs 800 crore worldwide and became the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time. Anirudh Ravichander’s music and background score were once again a major highlight, along with Nelson’s trademark mix of dark humour and action.

For viewers who missed it on the big screen, or fans who want to watch Rajinikanth’s entry scenes again, the film is now just a click away. Those who have not seen the first Jailer may want to watch it before starting the sequel, as the story continues directly from where it ended.
