Rajinikanth Jokes About Turning the Tables on Yogi Babu in ‘Jailer 2’ – Nelson’s Sequel Set is Full of Laughter

As shooting for Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and starring Rajinikanth, is underway, fans are excited to see many of the original cast members returning for the sequel — including comedian Yogi Babu.

Yogi Babu, who played a car driver in the first installment, recently spoke about his experience working on the much-anticipated sequel in an interview. Sharing a lighthearted moment from the set, he revealed how Rajinikanth brought his signature sense of humor to the shoot.

“In the first part, my character made a lot of jokes at Rajini sir’s expense. So during the filming of Jailer 2, Rajini sir told director Nelson jokingly, ‘You shouldn’t spare Yogi Babu this time — he had all the fun last time, now it’s my turn!’” Yogi Babu recalled with a laugh.

He went on to praise Rajinikanth’s comedic timing and energy: “No matter what punch I deliver, Rajini sir always comes back with an even better counter. That’s what keeps me on my toes — and that’s why he’s still the Superstar.”

With the camaraderie and humor clearly flowing on set, Jailer 2 is shaping up to be as entertaining off-screen as it promises to be on-screen.
