Why does this story matter?
Jailer is an important film for both Rajinikanth and Dilipkumar. For the former, his previous film Annaatthe received a negative response from his fans and critics. The film before that, Darbar, did not do well at the box office. On the other hand, Dilipkumar's previous outing Beast starring Vijay received mixed to negative reviews. Let's wait and see if Jailer becomes a game changer.
What did the poster show?
In the poster, an angry-looking Rajinikanth can be seen standing in what looks like a prison. He can be seen in a pair of khaki pants and a formal shirt. His salt and pepper hairstyle and thin-framed glasses with a sharp look hint that the film will be an intense drama. Sharing it, the makers wrote, "#Jailer begins his action Today!"
