Trial 2 Actor Pamela Bhutoria Singh: Vidya Balan & Kajol Embody Qualities of Shakti Devi | Exclusive

written by jummy84

Actress Pamela Bhutoria Singh has carved a space for herself across Bengali cinema, Bollywood, and the OTT landscape. She was most recently seen in the second season of The Trial, where she shared the screen with Kajol. In conversation with Filmfare, Pamela reflected on her first day on the set with Kajol, the warmth and power of working alongside women like Vidya Balan (in Kahani) and Kajol, the pressures of navigating today’s social media-driven acting world, and the kind of stories that continue to draw her in.
You shared the screen with Kajol in The Trial 2. What was your first day with her like? How was her energy?

I remember being so nervous and excited on my first day. My very first shot was with her, and as I walked into the set and saw her, I was completely fangirling. She walked past me, and we exchanged looks. I think she wasn’t sure yet that I was the one playing Chitrangada. We finally met during the shot, and my director had to remind me, “You are this sassy, confident, and very smart individual who holds her own.” But there I was, acting like a little girl in awe.

What I’ll always remember about Kajol is her spirit. She’s so young at heart, full of life, and incredibly energetic. She laughs loudly, she’s kind, funny, and has this wonderfully high-spirited personality.

In the show, I played the “other woman”. The one who had a relationship with the man she liked. Off-screen, our chemistry was absolutely normal. Kajol was very nice and polite to me on set. There were no negative exchanges or emotions between us in the show, but her character was naturally a bit alarmed that someone else had entered Vishal’s life.
You have been a part of other good films as well. What’s your most vivid memory from that set with Vidya Balan?

Both Vidya Balan and Kajol are absolute powerhouses. Incredibly strong female leads. What they have in common is their kindness. They’re both very accommodating, aware of their power and position, and they use it beautifully. At the same time, they’re simple, grounded women — brilliant actors, accomplished individuals, and wonderful daughters. They embody all the qualities of Shakti Devi; powerful, enterprising, beautiful, and strong.

You’ve transitioned between Bengali cinema, Bollywood and OTT. What one digital-era skill do you think every actor now must master?

In today’s digital era, one skill every actor should master is self-promotion on social media. I personally lack the knack for editing videos, shooting the right content, or knowing exactly what to post. But unfortunately, it has become a necessary part of our profession now. I still believe that an actor’s talent should be judged by their performance — how well they deliver dialogues, embody a character, and act. Earlier, actors needed to know how to ride horses, perform action, sing, and dance — but now, sadly, mastering social media has become just as important.

How do you now choose roles that push beyond surface appeal into character depth?

I choose my roles based on the character — whether I resonate with it, and if I feel any emotion or empathy toward the person I’m portraying.

When you’re not acting, what kind of digital content do you personally love and consume?

When I’m not acting or working, I try to disconnect from digital content and go back to reading books, because I often find myself scrolling too much — something I absolutely dislike. I also listen to a lot of podcasts, especially on topics like health, body anatomy, and psychology.


What’s one performance of yours that you wish had gotten more attention?

Vidya Balan to Join Rajinikanth in Jailer 2?

Bollywood star Vidya Balan is ready to make her grand entry into Tamil cinema. The actress, known for powerful roles in Kahaani, Paa, and Hey Baby, will be reportedly seen alongside superstar Rajinikanth in Jailer 2, one of the most awaited Tamil films of 2026. Though she appeared briefly in Nerkonda Paarvai (2019), this will be her first major Tamil film role.

According to some reports, Vidya Balan plays the role of veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty’s eldest daughter. Mithun will be seen as the main villain opposite Rajinikanth. The insider added, “Vidya’s character is strong, emotional, and deeply tied to the film’s core conflict. Her presence adds a new layer to the story.” The shooting of Jailer 2 is currently taking place in Chennai, and the team plans to move to Goa in late October for the next schedule, which will continue for nearly two months. Post-production work is expected to begin early next year.

Fans recently got a peek behind the scenes when Sun Pictures, the production house, shared a video from the Diwali shoot on social media. The clip featured Rajinikanth interacting warmly with the crew, Vidya filming her first Tamil scene, and director Nelson Dilipkumar giving cues for an action sequence. The post was captioned, “Wishing everyone a sparkling Deepavali from the sets of Jailer 2.”

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 is the sequel to the 2023 blockbuster Jailer. It blends high-octane action with comedy and drama. Apart from Rajinikanth and Vidya, the film stars Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, and Mirnaa in key roles, with S. J. Suryah joining the cast.
The film will also feature cameos by Shiva Rajkumar, Nandamuri Balakrishna, and Mithun Chakraborty. Jailer 2 is slated for release on June 12, 2026. This marks a reunion between Rajinikanth and Mithun Chakraborty after decades, the two last shared screen space in Bhrashtachar (1989) and Bhagya Devta (1997).
