Balakrishna’s hefty paycheck for Jailer 2

Balakrishna is rumoured to play a cop in Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2.

Sources told the publication that Balakrishna has allotted a 20-day schedule to film Jailer 2. He asked the producers to pay him ₹50 crore for the schedule and they have agreed. The producers reportedly had no hesitation in agreeing to the amount. The sequel is also expected to see Shiva Rajkumar return for a cameo, which was a massive hit in the 2023 film Jailer.

Hindustan Times previously reported a source close to the film’s unit confirming Balakrishna has been roped in for the sequel. “It is true that NBK has said yes to a powerful role in Jailer 2. He loved what Nelson pitched to him and looks forward to shooting for the film soon. He plays more of a guest role in the film than a cameo because he wanted something solid, and Nelson delivered. Fans are going to love it,” they said.

About Jailer 2

Nelson revealed in an interview with Cinema Vikatan in 2023 that he wanted to rope in Balakrishna in Jailer. “Balakrishna sir was in my mind, but I could not design and fit his character into the script properly. That’s why I dropped it. I feel that in Jailer 2, if Balakrishna does the role I have in mind, it will be powerful,” he said.
