Balayya Opted Out Of Jailer 2, But Why?

Nandamuri Balakrishna is one of the true mass heroes in Telugu cinema and he has patronage across South Indian belt as well. In this context, there have been reports about his active presence in the upcoming sequel Jailer 2 as well.

But the latest updates are suggesting that there has been a major change in the upcoming film Jailer 2. According to reports, Nandamuri Balakrishna, who was supposed to play a powerful cameo, has opted out of the project.

Director Nelson Dilip Kumar had planned a 20-minute impactful role for Balayya as a dynamic police officer, and the makers were even ready to pay him around ₹50 crore for the part.

However, due to unknown reasons, Balakrishna reportedly decided to step away from the film. Following his exit, the team of Jailer 2 quickly began searching for another strong performer who could match the intensity of the role.

The makers have now chosen Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil to replace Balayya in this key character. Fahadh, known for his powerful screen presence and natural acting, is expected to bring a new dimension to the story.

Produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 is the much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster Jailer, which starred Superstar Rajinikanth.

With names like Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar, and now Fahadh Faasil in the lineup, the film is turning into a massive pan-India spectacle. Fans are eagerly waiting for official updates about the cast and shooting schedule from the makers soon.
