The birthday special glimpse video begins with Superstar’s super stylish silhouette. He is then shown to get ready for a mission and then pull out a dagger. The video ends with his face being zoomed in.
The video glimpse of Rajinikanth’s 169th film ‘Jailer’ is being very warmly received by his fans and well wishers all over the world. He is seen Wearing khakhi pants and is sporting a spectacled look with salt and pepper styled hair and beard.
Presented by Kalanithi Maran, ‘Jailer’ is written and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, whose recent works include Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Doctor’ and Vijay’s ‘Beast’. Although ‘Beast’ was a colossal disappointment, there are still hopes from Nelson who gave interesting content like Kolamavu Kokila and Doctor when Tamil Mainstream cinema was getting formulaic. Jailer is also an Anirudh musical.
Besides Rajinikanth, ‘Jailer’ stars Ramya Krishnan, Shiva Rajkumar, Vasanth Ravi, Yogi Babu, and Vinayakan. The matinee idol’s last super blockbuster film at the box-office was Pettah in the year 2019. There’s so much riding on Jailer post misfires in Darbar (2020), and Annaatthe (2021). Jailer releases worldwide on April 14th that coincides with the Tamil New Year, also Vishu in Kerala. Stay tuned for more updates!
