A tragic incident occurred on the set of the upcoming film Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, where a 28-year-old crew member named Karthikeyan died from electrocution. The accident took place at a private film studio in Panaiyur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, during the construction of a house-like set. The Kanathur police have started an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the electrical leak that led to this unfortunate event. This incident comes shortly after the production company, Sun Pictures, announced that filming had wrapped up, although they have not yet issued a statement regarding the accident. Jailer 2, a sequel to the 2023 blockbuster Jailer, is expected to feature returning cast members including Ramya Krishnan and Yogi Babu, and is currently slated for a release on June 12, 2026, though this date may change as production is still ongoing.
