Production

After Jailer was a success, people involved spoke about doing a sequel. Nelson Dilipkumar had previously spoken about making sequels to some of his films, prompting speculation about a follow-up to Jailer. By January 2024, Nelson had begun working on the sequel's script. Actress Mirnaa, who appeared in the first film, confirmed in February 2024 that Nelson was working on the script and that the project was progressing toward production.

The project was initially reported under the working title Hukum, after the song of the same name from Jailer. The sequel was revealed on 14 January 2025, coinciding with Pongal. Sun Pictures released an announcement teaser featuring Rajinikanth, Nelson and Anirudh Ravichander and titled the film Jailer 2. The film was produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures.

Reports initially indicated that production was intended to begin in late 2024, with a 2025 release considered in connection with Rajinikanth's 50th year in cinema. The start was pushed back, and filming commenced in March 2025.

The filmmakers also produced the announcement teaser before principal photography. The technical crew largely reunited from Jailer. Vijay Kartik Kannan returned as cinematographer, R. Nirmal as editor and D. R. K. Kiran as art director, while Anirudh returned to compose the music. Visual effects supervisor Yugandhar T. also joined the technical crew.

The film was taken into production on 10 March 2025, with Sun Pictures announcing that the shoot had begun in Chennai. The eventual production was designed around an extensive schedule across several parts of India rather than being confined to Chennai. Reported and documented locations included Chennai, Attapadi, Coimbatore, Kozhikode, Mysore, Palakkad, Goa and Kochi.
