Huge OTT deal for Jailer 2

Superstar Rajinikanth is set to return with another high-profile project, Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The film has already become a major talking point, with industry circles expecting it to potentially cross the ₹1000 crore mark, a milestone for Kollywood. Even before its theatrical release, the film is making headlines for its business deals. Reports suggest that Amazon Prime Video has acquired the digital rights for around ₹160 crore, significantly higher than the deal for the first installment.

Actors Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar are expected to reprise their roles, while S. J. Suryah is likely to play a key antagonist. There are also strong rumors about Pawan Kalyan appearing in a special role. Music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The film has completed shooting in multiple locations and is currently in post-production.

Produced by Sun Pictures, the movie is expected to release around mid-August 2026, coinciding with India’s Independence Day weekend. Trade analysts believe the film could deliver another massive box office success for Rajinikanth.
