Superstar Rajinikanth is shooting for Jailer 2 in Mysore. He waved to the massive crowd from atop his car, expressing gratitude.
Rajinikanth fever has officially hit Mysore and how! The superstar has kicked off shooting for Jailer 2 there. As news spread that Thalaiva was filming near Bilikere, close to Hunsur, fans came running from all corners just to catch a glimpse of the legend.
In true mass style, Rajinikanth didn't just wave from a distance, he also climbed on top of his car, threw his hands up in the air, and gave his fans a moment they'll probably never forget. After a few waves, a heart-melting smile, and that classic Thalaiva hand raise, the crowd went wild.

The shoot for Jailer 2 is going on in full swing. The film stars Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar, and Jackie Shroff – all in one big movie. It's being directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures. The music is by Anirudh Ravichander, and the film is set to hit theatres in Summer 2026.
Adding an extra layer of joy to the Jailer 2 shoot was director Nelson Dilipkumar's birthday celebration! The filmmaker turned 41 on June 21, and the team made sure it was special. Sun Pictures took to X (formerly Twitter) to share sweet moments from the celebration.
In the pictures, Rajinikanth was seen handing Nelson a bouquet, smiling for photos with him and comedian Yogi Babu, and even feeding the birthday boy some cake. The pictures have been making rounds on social media ever since.
Take a look below:

Meanwhile, the buzz around Jailer 2 reached fever pitch recently when rumours surfaced suggesting Shah Rukh Khan might appear in a special cameo in the film. However, Box Office South India later dismissed the speculation, clarifying that SRK is neither part of the cast nor involved in any form.
That said, the possibility of a Bollywood star joining the ensemble hasn't been entirely ruled out. While names are still under wraps, sources claim one prominent Hindi film actor could feature in the action-packed sequel.

AI startup CEO mutes Bryan Johnson and stops using health trackers, says 'it's all made up'; post goes viral
Would you give up your fitness tracker device, daily biometrics, and strict health hacks if it meant reclaiming your peace of mind? Well, that's the question many are asking after a California-based startup founder, who publicly distanced himself from the tech-fueled and intense longevity routine promoted by age-reversal influencer Bryan Johnson. The X (formerly called Twitter) post has now gone viral. Alex Finn, the CEO of the AI content tool, shared a post on his X on Sunday, which is now doing the rounds on social media. The founder of Creator Buddy took to his X (formerly called Twitter) to share that he has dropped using his Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and Whoop band and has also muted Bryan Johnson. In the viral post, he explains why he chose to stop indulging in all this and said he did this just to reduce stress and get better sleep. 'Optimising every part of life caused more stress than it solved' According to Finn, he sleeps better now without obsessively monitoring his health and thinks that the constant need to track every metric in life has gone too far. He continues to argue that what's sold as 'scientific' optimisation often becomes a source of anxiety rather than just for well-being. Alex mutes Bryan Johnson, the fitness enthusiast Apart from stopping the tech devices for tracking health that gave Alex more stress than good, he mentioned that he has muted Bryan Johnson, who has become an internet sensation and a global face of biohacking in recent times. Johnson is known for spending over $2 million a year on a team of doctors, data, supplements and routines, and he majorly focuses on reversing his age at any cost, the post added. His routine involves syncing his lighting with natural circadian rhythms, using red light therapy, undergoing frequent blood tests to monitor biomarkers, maintaining strict control over his calorie intake, and tracking hundreds of metrics related to his body's functions, but guess what? Finn isn't buying into that level of discipline. Finn shares how one can really be fit and healthy in a viral post At the end of the post, Finn mentioned that life is a lot more fun when he doesn't have to hit 50 benchmarks a day to convince himself that he is healthy. Following this, his new 'routine' now includes working out occasionally and not overdoing ice cream. Further pointing out a study, Finn says that research claims that glass bottles might contain more microplastics than plastic ones, highlighting how wellness trends can sometimes be deceptive or rooted in questionable science. 'It's all made up,' Finn said bluntly, adding, 'We've gone too far, and I think once people realise 90% of this bro science we've all bought into is completely made up, they'll swing back to just trying to live a good, healthy life without trying to quantify every metric.' Got rid of my Apple Watch. Got rid of my Whop. Got rid of my Oura ring. Muted Bryan JohnsonNo more sleep scores. No more recovery every part of my life caused more stress than it solvedIronically I've never slept better in my entire lifeI think we are… Netizens react to AI startup CEO's viral post As soon as the post surfaced on the internet, it quickly grabbed eyeballs, and netizens shared their thoughts as well. One asked, "Did you notice the benefits of Apple Watch / Whop? If so, why remove them if they were bettering you?" Did you notice the benefits of Apple Watch / Whop? If so, why remove them if they were bettering you? To which he responded, saying, They don't actually do anything for your health. They just quantify and measure everything. The benefits come from the impact of knowing all those metrics. They don't actually do anything for your health. They just quantify and measure benefits come from the impact of knowing all those yes there's positive impact, I also think there's a big negative impact nobody talks about just from the neuroticism… While yes, there's a positive impact, I also think there's a big negative impact nobody talks about just from the neuroticism it causes." "Switched my Apple Watch back to a normal (good looking) watch. Not only does it feel better because I don't optimise for everything - steps, constant notifications, etc - but it also looks 10x better." And replied, "My brain feels clearer." "Substitute time spent on configuring apps and meditation. And eat nutritionally dense foods," another added. Substitute time spent on configuring apps and meditation. And eat nutritionally dense foods.#WellbeingV3.0
