Jailer 2’s Hindi version won’t hit multiplexes. Not even a single one. The film, already set for a theatrical release this week, will skip the big screens in Hindi-speaking regions entirely — except for a handful of single-screen theatres. Instead, the dubbed cut is headed straight to OTT, four weeks after the original Tamil release.
Sun Pictures has reportedly sealed a deal with a major streaming platform, though the name remains under wraps. The move has ignited fury among Hrithik Roshan’s fans, who were counting on his cameo, a rare appearance since he last starred in a film two years ago. As a reason to pack theatres in North India.
They’re not just disappointed. They’re furious. Why cast a star like Hrithik, alongside Jackie Shroff and Vidya Balan, if the plan is to bury the Hindi version in a streaming vault? The backlash isn’t just about access, it’s about respect.
