Mohanlal’s body double, Joby (Jobi) Kodakara, clarifies his involvement in “Jailer 2,” amid online speculation about whether Mohanlal was replaced by a double in the film’s climax and car-related scenes. Across reports, Kodakara says his participation is limited and that only parts of his body appear, while his face is not shown.
NDTV and the Free Press Journal report that Kodakara attributes earlier set-photo sharing to a “mistake,” saying he posted images from the sets after being told not to do so before release. India Today instead highlights the film’s action director, who is quoted as confirming Mohanlal shot his climax without a body double.
Times of India similarly focuses on Kodakara’s statements that only his hands and legs were used, and that his face does not appear anywhere in the final film, while noting continued box office performance. The overall dispute centers on social media rumours sparked by set pictures, followed by clarifications from both the double and film crew.
