Shah Rukh Khan will not be appearing in a cameo for Rajinikanth's upcoming film Jailer 2. Reports say the actor chose to focus fully on his next project, King , rather than take up a brief five-day role in the pan-Indian action movie.
The news sparked discussions online, with fans sharing mixed reactions.
The makers of Jailer 2 had approached Shah Rukh for a short cameo. While he was initially open to the idea, the schedules clashed with King, which is set for a major Christmas 2026 release. The film will also feature his daughter Suhana Khan in a key role.
Why Did Shah Rukh Khan Reject Jailer 2 Cameo?
A source told Pinkvilla that Shah Rukh was willing to do the cameo only if it could release after King, as he wanted his appearance to remain exclusive. He also did not want his look in King to appear in any other film first. The source added that discussions were friendly, and Shah Rukh still admires Rajinikanth and is open to working with him in the future.
