Rajinikanth has officially said no to sequels — not just once, but twice. And the reason he’s making an exception for Jailer 2? A single line in the original film that hinted at a bigger game. At the pre-release event for Jailer 2, the superstar confirmed he turned down both Baasha 2 and Petta 2, despite direct offers from Karthik Subbaraj.
'I don’t prefer sequels,' Rajinikanth said. 'Usually, I think they just add salt and spice.' That’s his way of saying: same plot, different name, same formula. He wasn’t sold on either idea, especially not Petta 2, where Vijay Sethupathi’s character was meant to be extended. But then came Jailer.
After watching it again post-OTT release, he saw something else. The moment Varma says there’s a bigger network out there. One that won’t spare him, clicked. It wasn’t just a cliffhanger.
