Kollywood Pins Big Hopes on ‘Jailer 2’

Kollywood is placing huge expectations on ‘Jailer 2’ as the Tamil film industry looks for a major success. Several recent Tamil films have struggled to make the expected impact in Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam markets. Even pan India projects such as Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ and Suriya’s ‘Kanguva’ reportedly failed to meet expectations, increasing the pressure on the upcoming sequel. With Vijay taking a break from films and Ajith maintaining a relatively low profile, expectations around ‘Jailer 2’ have grown further.

Directed by Nelson and produced on a large scale by Sun Pictures, ‘Jailer 2’ features music by Anirudh Ravichander. The sequel is reportedly being mounted on a bigger scale, keeping the success of the first part in mind. The makers are planning a worldwide release on October 15. Rajinikanth’s popularity and the anticipation surrounding the franchise could work in the film’s favour. A strong performance across multiple languages could provide a major boost to the Tamil film industry.
