Shamna Kasim says dancing with Rajinikanth in Jailer 2 felt unimaginable — and she didn’t know she was pregnant during the shoot

Sun Pictures released a fresh Jailer 2 clip featuring Rajinikanth's chilling warning dialogue and a glimpse of Suraj Venjaramoodu, four days ahead of the film's worldwide theatrical release on October 15.

Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 gets a ticket rate hike in Andhra Pradesh — Rs. 50 extra on single screens, Rs. 75 in multiplexes — for seven days starting October 15. Five shows per day allowed. Sun Pictures’ big-budget film, directed by Nelson, features Vidya Balan, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and special cameos from Mohanlal, Hrithik Roshan, Shiva Rajkumar, and Vijay Sethupathi. Anirudh’s album hits 100M+ plays

Andhra Pradesh has granted Jailer 2 a seven-day ticket price hike covering its release week, letting single screens and multiplexes charge extra per ticket and run five shows daily.

The film’s official OTT premiere date has been locked in: October 15, same as the theatrical release.

The Jailer 2 trailer dropped October 5 to a mixed reaction, with critics calling it repetitive, but trade trackers still expect the Rajinikanth sequel to post Kollywood's biggest-ever India opening on release day.

Jailer 2’s trailer dropped, and the internet is already arguing about what got cut. The 100-minute final cut? Apparently, it wasn’t all included.

Jailer 2’s music dropped on October 2 — no fanfare, no launch event. Just a jukebox, 12 tracks, and the quiet hum of expectation turning into unease.

Jailer 2, slated for an October 15 release, is caught in a certification standoff as the board demands edits to a violent sequence, sparking a debate between Rajinikanth and director Nelson.

Jailer 2’s upcoming fourth single lands at 6 PM, featuring Nora Fatehi’s dance cameo and Anirudh Ravichander’s signature beats, fueling hype ahead of the Oct 15 release of the film.

Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, slated for a 15 October worldwide launch, has booked ₹325 cr in pre‑release deals. Analysts say the film must pull in about ₹650 cr to break even, while music buzz remains muted.
