The much awaited film Jailer 2 finally released today and has opened on a great note. The first film was highly remembered not just for superstar Rajinikanth's massy performance, songs and elevation moments but also for its various special appearances. The same continues in Jailer 2 as well. However, there's one more exciting cameo this time, that too by none other than Hrithik Roshan. Warning: Spoilers ahead. There were reports already floating pre-release that Hrithik will be seen in Jailer 2. The reports turned out to be true. Hrithik appears at a crucial juncture in the film and helps out Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, played by Rajinikanth. He plays a cool, suave character named Roddy.

However, as per trade sources, the English version of Ramayana is expected to ...
