Rajinikanth stayed back even after 2 AM on set to see Jailer 2 co-star Suraj Venjaramoodu in action, clapped after his shot

Rajinikanth reportedly remained on the Jailer 2 set after completing his own shot so he could watch co-star Suraj Venjaramoodu perform. The veteran actor then applauded when the scene ended.

Rajinikanth stayed after finishing his shot

Venjaramoodu, a National Award-winning actor, recalled that Rajinikanth had completed his work and was expected to leave the set. Instead, he stayed back to observe Venjaramoodu’s performance, even though filming continued beyond 2 AM.

Venjaramoodu said he was fully immersed in his character while filming the scene. When the director called “cut,” he heard applause and turned to see Rajinikanth clapping.

A memorable moment on the Jailer 2 set

The incident stood out to Venjaramoodu because the applause came from his co-star immediately after the take. Rajinikanth’s decision to remain on set and watch the performance made the exchange especially significant for the actor.

The account also highlights a direct moment of recognition between the two performers during production. Rather than leaving after his own scene, Rajinikanth stayed long enough to see Venjaramoodu complete his shot and respond to it.

What Suraj Venjaramoodu shared

Venjaramoodu described the moment during a conversation, explaining that he looked aside after hearing the clapping and realised Rajinikanth was the person applauding him.

The anecdote provides a behind-the-scenes detail from Jailer 2, centred on Rajinikanth’s reaction to his co-star’s performance.
