"One name to rule the game! #Jailer2 storms into theatres worldwide on October 15," the studio posted on X.
Nelson Dilipkumar, who directed the first film, returns as the director for "Jailer 2" along with music composer Anirudh Ravichander.
"Jailer", which released on August 10, emerged as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. It featured Rajinikanth as retired jailer Muthuvel Pandian, who leads a quiet life with his family after hanging up his uniform.
His peaceful existence is shattered when his son, an upright police officer investigating an idol-smuggling syndicate, goes missing and is presumed dead.
The cast also included Ramya Krishnan, Vasanth Ravi, Yogi Babu, Mirnaa Menon, Sunil and Vinayakan, who played the antagonist.
The movie featured special appearances by Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar, Jackie Shroff, Kishore, Makarand Deshpande and Tamannaah Bhatia.
Apart from "Jailer 2", Rajinikanth will next be seen in "Dharman", directed by Ashwath Marimuthu and produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International.
