You're most welcome Roflcopters. The 3 siblings (2 Males & 1 Female) of Jaichand have not been given names as of now. 
@Vijay Rajan

The female cub of chandi is very bold and prefers to do her own thing. Jaichand is the biggest out of all the male cubs and he often follows Jai around and is probably going to be a serious threat to Jai in a few years. I know it's very difficult to tell but I was curious in your opinion, who are some of the largest males you have seen in person?
Mutkasur Male

While most guides & drivers (who I'm afraid aren't particularly good at identifying their Tigers) reckon he belongs to the previous Panderpauni litter, is Maya's brother & hence call him "Pandu", many Lodge owners & their naturalists believe he is from a Kolara litter (sired by Namdev or Saturn) & named him "Mutkasur' after the area he was first sighted in. IMHO, he could be Saturn's son. It's hard to ascertain his lineage since there is no photographic record of him as a cub. His occasional meet-up with Maya & cubs spices things up.
Here is the dashing duo of Umred Karhandla from February 2016.
Bittu is seated in the front while Srini is seated behind. Notice the marginal difference in their overall size, especially the head. 
very interesting, how do you think these two compare with their half brother Jaichand? based on all the photo evidence, Jaichand seems to give the same feeling that jai once did as a cub in Nagzira. Abnormally huge for a cub and now with verified weights of both bittu and srinivasa, this makes me curious. I mean how often do you find male tiger cubs that reach their mom's size at 16-17 months of age and weigh 127-138kg.
P.S i agree, all the photographic evidence of Matkasur male entering from Kolara side while Namdev was the ruling male of the area and was tolerating him is a strong hint to most that maybe he is indeed Namdev's son.

Roflcopters, IMO, Jaichand is a tad taller, longer & larger framed than Bittu but being Jai's progeny I wouldn't rule the latter out from catching up with Jaichand within a year or so. The chances of Jaichand too getting Radio-collared in the near future are high due to his frequent forays to the other side (Gothangaon) of the park. In case that happens, I'd be pleased to share his exact weight. I couldn't agree with you more on Matkasur's probable lineage. 
My once dream tiger, PTR10, big guy neverthless,

He's a big boy but it's way to hard to determine one tigers size compared to every other based soley on images.
