Nelson Dilipkumar’s Rajinikanth -starrer Jailer 2 will hit screens on October 15. On it, Rajinikanth and Nelson spoke with the cast and crew of Jailer 2 about the film and more. Ahead of it, the film’s team skipped the usual audio launches and taped a ‘super show’ that streamed on Sun NXT. When Nelson asked Rajinikanth about his humility, he remarked that he missed being a bus conductor.
Rajinikanth last starred in the 2024 films Lal Salaam and Vettaiyan and the 2025 film Coolie. The actor’s Jailer 2 , a sequel to his 2023 hit Jailer, will hit screens this week. Nelson asked Rajinikanth on the show if his humility was inbuilt or something he maintains for others. The actor responded, “See, even though I am a big star. Of course, I really like acting. But more than that, I liked being a conductor. I held the job of a conductor for five years, and I miss it to date…I miss it; I could never identify myself as a star. Studying at the Madras Film Institute later opened doors for him when filmmaker K Balachander noticed him. The director is also the one who gives him his stage name to avoid confusion with Sivaji Ganesan. Rajinikanth learnt how to speak Tamil just to act in films, and the rest, as they say, is history. He also has Dharman with director Ashwath Marimuthu lined up. Kamal Haasan is producing it. Rajinikanth and Kamal will share the screen in a yet-to-be-titled film by Nelson soon.
Nelson smiled at that as the film’s team cheered and said, “I expected this, sir.
