The actress, who has been promoting her upcoming film Birthmark, was asked about the updates about Jailer 2 during a promotional interview. Responding to the question, the actress stated that too learnt about Jailer 2 through the director’s announcement.  

 “I spoke to him (Nelson) when the announcement happened. He revealed that he’s happy and excited about kickstarting the project. However, I did not inquire about my character in the film. I think it's a director’s creative freedom whether to cast me or not”, revealed Mirnaa.

But if I get the opportunity to be part of the film again, I will gladly accept it.”
