Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 opens in theatres on Thursday, 15 October 2026, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, with a U/A certificate and reported advance bookings already crossing ₹50 crore worldwide.
SJ Suryah has confirmed his next acting project will be with Lubber Pandhu director Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, weeks after his villain turn in Sardar 2 failed at the box office.
Sardar 2 collected just ₹19 lakh on day 9 after theatres slashed its show count from 1,911 to 356, pushing the Karthi-starrer's total to ₹15.24 crore net against a reported ₹70 crore budget.
A character video from Jailer 2 shows SJ Suryah as Bodhi Kalpak, stepping out of a car in full style. It's his first project with Rajinikanth, coming right after Sardaar 2.
Sardar 2, starring Karthi and SJ Suryah, has managed a five-day gross of around Rs 15 crore, trade estimates suggest, with a holiday Monday failing to lift its sagging run against Mandaadi.
Sardar 2 has crawled to a four-day gross of Rs 13 crore, per Pinkvilla's tracking, as Soori-Suhas starrer Mandaadi eats into its footfalls and word of mouth stays lukewarm across states.
Karthi and SJ Suryah's Sardar 2 opened to Rs 5.30 crore across India on day one, per trade estimates, with Tamil Nadu doing the heavy lifting while word of mouth stays split going into the weekend.
