The buzz around Shah Rukh Khan’s much anticipated Jawan 2 is growing louder, and this time the spotlight is firmly on who might play the next big villain.
After Vijay Sethupathi impressed audiences as Kaali Gaikwad in the first installment, fans are now speculating about an even bigger South Indian star stepping into the antagonist role, as the makers leaked that he would be an A1 star from the south.
Among the names doing the rounds, Ajith Kumar stands out. His name had earlier surfaced during the casting of the first part, and many believe he would bring a powerful screen presence that could elevate the sequel. The renewed chatter around him has only added to the excitement.
At the same time, actors like Suriya, Vikram, Karthi and R. Madhavan are also being discussed. Madhavan’s recent turn as Ajay Sanyal in Dhurandhar has sparked curiosity, though some question if he suits a full scale villain role.
Speculation even touches Kamal Haasan, but his recent visibility in Kalki 2898 AD may make that choice feel less surprising.
Meanwhile, Jr NTR appeared in War 2 and he is unlikely to be part of it. Any other A 1 star from Tollywood would fit in the bill of Jawan 2 as almost all of them have really no need to show their villain shade on national canvass beside SRK.
For now, fans can only wait and watch as the mystery continues.
