The roaring success of the 2023 blockbuster hit “Jailer,” starring the legendary Rajinikanth, not only marked a triumphant return for the superstar but also set the stage for speculations about a sequel.
As per reports circulating within Kollywood film circles, director Nelson has taken the plunge into crafting the script for “Jailer 2.” The anticipation among fans is growing, and if the rumors hold true, it promises to be another cinematic spectacle from the iconic duo.
Rajinikanth, currently engrossed in the shooting of “Vettaiyan,” directed by T.J. Gnanavel, of “Jai Bhim” fame, is expected to dive into “Jailer 2” once the director finalizes the script.
“Jailer” made waves not only for its box office triumph but also for rekindling the superstar’s lost glory. The film garnered an impressive ₹95 crores globally, with ₹52 crores contributing to its Indian box office collection. The cumulative worldwide earnings stand at an impressive ₹600 crores, underscoring the massive success of the action-packed entertainer.
Nelson, the mastermind behind “Jailer,” expressed his excitement about the film’s global reception, stating, “Jailer is extremely special to me; I had Rajinikanth sir to elevate the story with his signature acting style, and had superstars from the Indian film industry – Mohanlal sir, Shiva Rajkumar sir, and Jackie Shroff sir – to add their magical touch to this mass entertainer. We are excited for audiences across the globe to now enjoy this action drama, anytime and anywhere, from their homes.”
As fans eagerly await official confirmation of “Jailer 2,” Rajinikanth continues to make headlines. Last year, the superstar announced his 170th film through a social media revelation. Produced by Subaskaran and directed by TJ Gnanavel, the film promises to be another milestone in Rajinikanth’s illustrious career, accompanied by the musical brilliance of Anirudh Ravichander, currently reveling in the success of his recent releases, including the Rajinikanth-starrer “Jailer” and “Jawan.”
