Vidya Balan Teams Up with Rajinikanth
Big news for movie lovers — Vidya Balan is finally stepping into Tamil cinema in a big way! The incredibly talented actress, known for her powerhouse performances in Hindi films, is all set to star alongside Superstar Rajinikanth in Jailer 2, one of the most talked-about Tamil films of 2026.
Yes, Vidya did make a small appearance in Nerkonda Paarvai back in 2019, but this time, she’s going all in. This will be her first major Tamil role, and fans are already buzzing about what kind of character she’ll be playing opposite Thalaivar himself. Word is that her role has a lot of emotional weight — which, let’s be honest, sounds like the perfect fit for Vidya.
Right now, the Jailer 2 team is busy shooting in Chennai, with Rajinikanth and the crew reportedly filming some high-energy scenes. Once that’s done, they’ll be heading to Goa later this month for the next schedule, which will run for almost two months. After that, the team plans to dive straight into post-production early next year.
Considering how Jailer became a massive hit — bringing Rajini back to his full-on mass-action glory — it’s no surprise that expectations for the sequel are sky-high. And with Vidya Balan joining the cast? Let’s just say the excitement has doubled overnight.
2026 might feel far away, but with this combo, Jailer 2 is already shaping up to be a must-watch.
