Latest buzz
is that Santhanam has been approached to join Jaier 2. Balayya joining Rajini
is not yet confirmed. Mohanlal and Shivarajkumar are confirmed. Telugu cinema
icon Nagarjuna has
been signed on to play the main antagonist in the film, reported Deccan
Herald. Santhanam, a popular Tamil comedian, has a history of collaborating
with superstar Rajinikanth in various films. They have previously worked
together in "Enthiran" and "Lingaa". There are also
ongoing discussions about Santhanam's potential role in "Jailer 2,"
the sequel to the Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer.
His intense
performance as Simon in Lokesh
Kanagaraj's upcoming film Coolie has reportedly influenced
this casting decision. The first Jailer had TK Vinayakan as
the villain. Now, with Nagarjuna in the mix, fans are expecting an epic
showdown.
The film's
ensemble also includes SJ Suryah, who joins the cast, and Mirnaa Menon, who
will reprise her role from the first part.
Shiva
Rajkumar will return as Narasimha and has reportedly dedicated 15 days to shoot
his portions.
Two major
schedules have already been wrapped up in Chennai and Kerala.
Kasthuri
Raja also revealed that his songs 'Panju Mittai', 'Otha Ruba Tharen'
and 'Thoothuvalai Ilai Arachi' are used in the Ajith starrer with no
permission. The filmmaker rebuked the use of old songs, calling it a case of
being not creative or original. Describing the works of Ilaiyaraaja and Deva as
"timeless music," he said that modern-day filmmakers appear to depend
too much on nostalgia instead of their own creativity. He said that if
filmmakers want to use such songs, they should seek permission from their
original creators as a fundamental legal and ethical requirement. Reiterating
the importance of respecting original music, Kasthuri Raja added that he would
sue the makers of Good Bad Ugly. Earlier, Ilaiyaraaja's
legal team sent notice to Good Bad Ugly makers.
Ragini
Dwivedi’s most daring avatar in Kannada cinema is set to be showcased in the
upcoming film, Jawa, which brings together Rajavardan and
Ragini on screen. It also marks Rajavardan's debut production venture under his
Barn Swallow Company banner. Directed by Devaa Chakravarthy, Jawa will
be made in Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil, and is expected to blend mass appeal
with intense storytelling
When asked
if R Queen pays tribute to the present Kannada heroines like Ramya, Rakshita,
Radhika Pandit, Rachita Ram, and even Ragini herself—Devaa nods. “This
character is fictional, but she's born from the spirit of many. We’ve observed
the industry, its highs, its shadows, and R Queen reflects that. She’s
influenced by legends, but she’s her own woman. No one’s seen Ragini like this
before.”
Devaa
reveals that Ragini’s character will carry full-fledged grey shades. “Yes,
she’s a superstar in the film. But more than that—she’s the antagonist - and I
call her 'A lady villain'. It’s a face-off with the hero, Rajavardan, but done
differently. I’m not going by the old formula. Jawa is about breaking
patterns.”
