Nelson Rejects Rajinikanth’s Request for Tamannaah Song
Rajinikanth asked director Nelson Dilipkumar to add a special song for Tamannaah Bhatia in Jailer 2.
He said the earlier song “Kaavaalaa” had been very successful.
Nelson said he would not add a song only because Rajinikanth asked for one.

Tamannaah is still part of the sequel’s cast and will play Kamna again.
But the article says her dance number will not return as a new song.
