Jailer's distribution rights are said to be sold for a substantial Rs 123 crore, with a significant portion of Rs 60 crore originating from Tamil Nadu. Karnataka contributed Rs 10 crore, while Andhra Pradesh and Telangana collectively added Rs 12 crore. Kerala's share amounted to Rs 5.5 crore, while the rest of India secured an additional Rs 4 crore.
Anticipation for Jailer's release has prompted several offices and schools in the southern states to declare August 10 a holiday. This strategic move not only prevents a surge of leave requests but also supports anti-piracy measures, as companies extend free movie tickets to their employees.
The official trailer for Jailer, titled Jailer Showcase, was unveiled earlier this month, offering viewers a sneak peek into the thrilling narrative. The trailer showcases an intriguing interaction between Rajinikanth and Jackie Shroff, with the latter delivering a menacing phone call. The film's ensemble cast includes Priyanka Mohan, Shiva Rajkumar, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi, and Vinayakan, promising an engaging cinematic experience.
