Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer 2’, which has earned more than 800 crore rupees worldwide, will be available on Amazon Prime Video from November 12. The action thriller, now a record-setter for Tamil cinema, is heading to home audiences after its theatrical run.
The film will be released in more than 240 countries and territories, including India, in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada. The first ‘Jailer’ is also on Prime Video, so viewers can watch both films back to back.
According to several box office trackers and media outlets, the worldwide gross has crossed 800 crore rupees. Multiple reports published on November 2 put the figure at over 807 crore rupees. The film has overtaken the global earnings of Rajinikanth’s own ‘2.0’, which was previously the highest-grossing Tamil film.
The story picks up after the events of the first film. Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, a former jail officer, wants to live in peace with his family after retirement. But a powerful criminal syndicate with political influence and international links puts his family in danger. Old enemies return seeking revenge, and new alliances form. Muthuvel has to return to his old ways to protect his family and take on the syndicate.
Rajinikanth plays the lead role. Mohanlal, Hrithik Roshan, Vijay Sethupathi and Shivarajkumar make special appearances. The cast also includes S J Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan, Ramya Krishnan, Namo Narayana and Yogi Babu.
Nelson Dilipkumar, who directed the first ‘Jailer’ in 2023, has reunited with Rajinikanth for the sequel. Kalanithi Maran produced the film under his banner Sun Pictures. Anirudh Ravichander composed the music. The reunion of Rajinikanth, Nelson and Anirudh has also raised audience interest, the report said.
