# Rajinikanth Takes Kochi by Storm: Jailer 2's Epic Final Shoot Kicks Off at Athirapilly Falls! Imagine the roar of waterfalls crashing down as **Rajinikanth**, the Thalaiva himself, gears up for jaw-dropping action sequences—**Jailer 2**'s final schedule is here, and it's set to explode screens in 2026![1][2] Superstar **Rajinikanth** and director **Nelson Dilipkumar** landed in Kochi, Kerala, sparking a frenzy among fans. Spotted at the airport in his signature casual black T-shirt and grey trousers, Rajinikanth was joined by his team for this crucial leg of filming at the breathtaking **Athirapilly Falls**—the same iconic spot hinting at a potential climax showdown.[2][3][5] Playback singer Binni Krishnakumar even shared selfies from their flight, capturing the excitement with passengers peeking over seats: "THALAIVAAAAAAAA. Today morning kochi flight."[1][6] This isn't just any shoot—it's the wrap-up phase targeting a mid-February completion ahead of a massive **June 2026 release**, possibly June 12.[1][2] Rajinikanth reprises his role as the principled ex-cop **Tiger Muthuvel Pandian** from the original *Jailer*, which smashed Rs 600 crore worldwide. Expect even bigger thrills: a power-packed cast including cameos from **Vijay Sethupathi**, **Mohanlal**, **Shiva Rajkumar**, **Jackie Shroff**, plus **Ramya Krishnan**, **Nora Fatehi** in a special dance number, and more like **Santhanam**, **Mithun Chakraborty**, and **Anna Rajan**.[1][2][3] After schedules across Chennai, Kerala borders, Coimbatore, Kozhikode, Mysore, Palakkad, and Goa, this Kochi stint at Kerala's scenic landscapes promises fresh energy—think action amid lush greenery, a stark contrast to the first film's gritty vibe.[2][3][4][5] Viral photos and videos from the set are already fueling hype, proving Rajinikanth's star power knows no bounds.
