Actor Mohanlal, who is gearing up to release his single character Malayalam film ‘Alone’ later this month, has been signed for a cameo role in Rajinikanth’s upcoming Tamil film ‘Jailer’. The Malayalam star is expected to join the sets over the weekend to shoot his portion. This will be the first time Mohanlal will share screen space with Rajinikanth.
While the makers are yet to make an official statement, a source from the film’s unit has confirmed the casting. “Mohanlal sir has been signed for a cameo appearance. He will complete shooting for his portion over the weekend,” a source said.
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth will soon commence work on his daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s film, ‘Laal Salaam’. He will be seen playing an extended cameo in the movie. With ‘Laal Salaam’, Aishwarya returns to direction after a gap of seven years. The film, which is rumoured to be set against the backdrop of cricket and communism, stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikrant in lead roles.
The project was launched with a pooja ceremony on November 5. Sharing pictures from the event, Aishwarya wrote on her Twitter page: “When your FATHER trusts in you.. When you believe GOD is by you. MIRACLES happen in true. After 7 long years. The journey begins again with grateful and joyful tears (sic).”
