Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer 2 is a month away from its grand theatrical release. Slated to release on October 15, the sequel is already generating immense buzz as it is set to feature several cameos, much like the first installment.
Now, reports suggest that Vijay Sethupathi will reportedly make a 15-minute appearance.
As per a report shared by Valai Pechu, Vijay has apparently given the Jailer 2 team a two-day call sheet for his cameo. He is said to have filmed for a day in Chennai and another day in Goa, with his screen time reportedly being around 15 minutes.
However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the duration of his appearance from the makers yet.
Earlier, Vijay Sethupathi clarified that he was no longer interested in doing cameo appearances. But when it came to Rajinikanth's Jailer 2, the actor decided to make a one-time exception and break his no-cameo rule.
Speaking about the decision during a conversation with Gobinath on YouTube, Vijay said his respect for Rajinikanth was the only reason he agreed to take up the role.
He said, “I've completely stopped doing cameos. The exception is Jailer 2 only, which I did for Rajinikanth sir. If they put my poster on Jailer 2, the audience will notice only Rajini sir. But in other small films, they are marketing with my cameo in the poster; it affects my films, which I'm doing as a hero.”
