Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Mirnaa and Rithvik will reprise their roles in the film. Nelson, who directed and wrote the first instalment, is also back behind the camera.
The original Jailer revolved around Muthuvel Pandian, a retired jailer whose seemingly settled life changed after his son disappeared. The film went on to become a major commercial success.
According to figures cited from Sacnilk, Jailer collected Rs 348.55 crore nett in India and finished with Rs 604.50 crore gross worldwide.

Suraj Venjaramoodu, Anna Rajan and Jatin Sarna have also joined the ensemble, giving the sequel a mix of actors from different film industries.
The trailer arrives after considerable speculation around the expanded cast and the scale of the sequel. While the makers have confirmed the principal line-up, several other names continue to be associated with the film through reports.
Mohanlal, Hrithik Roshan Among Reported Cameos
Jailer was also known for bringing in major actors for special appearances, and similar reports have followed its sequel.
Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Jackie Shroff, Vijay Sethupathi and Hrithik Roshan have all been linked to Jailer 2 in cameo roles.
Shah Rukh Khan’s name has also surfaced in casting reports connected to the film.
However, none of these reported appearances have been officially confirmed by the makers so far.

Nelson has retained several technicians who worked on the first film.
Anirudh Ravichander returns to compose the music for the sequel, while R Nirmal is handling the editing. Vijay Kartik Kannan serves as cinematographer and DRK Kiran is the art director.
Pallavi Singh and Muthul Hafeez return as costume designers. Stunt choreographer Chethan D’Souza joins the technical crew as a new addition.
With Rajinikanth returning as Muthuvel Pandian, the sequel is bringing together an enlarged cast without changing the core creative team behind the franchise.
Jailer 2 is scheduled to release in theatres on October 15.
