Super Star Rajinikanth’s fans have been eagerly waiting for his next movie, and now they have a reason to celebrate as the release of his upcoming movie “Jailer” is scheduled for August 10th. The movie is expected to mark Rajinikanth’s comeback to the big screen after a few recent under-performing films.
Rajinikanth, popularly known as Thalaivar, is a trendsetter in the Indian film industry, who popularized the concept of First Day First Show (FDFS), which is still celebrated by his fans today. When his movie Kabali was released, many offices in South India declared an official holiday to allow their staff to watch the movie. Popular Bollywood star Salman Khan even compared the release of Rajinikanth’s movies to the celebration of Eid.
After the legendary MGR, Rajinikanth is the only actor to have reached the pinnacle of stardom in South Indian cinema. He is known as the evergreen final Super Star of Indian Cinema. While many stars like Vijay, Ajith, Surya, Simbu, and SK have gained popularity over the years, none of them have yet to reach the level of success achieved by Thalaivar.
However, the cinema industry has changed significantly over the years, with the introduction of OTT platforms and the opening of multi-plexes. The number of cinema-goers has significantly reduced, and theaters around the country have closed down. Even though there was severe competition between Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan fans in the past, they would still watch movies from both stars. However, with the rise of Vijay and Ajith fans, boycotts of each other’s films, negative publicity, and meme culture have become prevalent.
Despite the pressure, Rajinikanth has joined hands with Nelson Dilipkumar to make “Jailer” a reality. Nelson’s last movie, which featured Thalapathy Vijay, did not make a good impression with the audience, and the director and actor were heavily trolled on social media. Thalapathy Varisu also failed to make a mark with the audience and ended up with a similar fate as Rajinikanth’s previous film, “Annaththe.”
“Jailer” has a strong cast, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if Rajinikanth can make a comeback with this movie. Meanwhile, Thalapathy Vijay has joined hands with Lokesh for “Leo,” and rumors are circulating about a possible movie with Rajinikanth after “Leo” with Lokesh.
At the age of 71, Rajinikanth still holds the title of the highest-grossing actor in South India, with six movies grossing over 200 crores. If the footfalls and earnings are considered and converted to today’s rate, movies like “Basha,” “Annamalai,” and “Padayappa” will be unmatched.
The highly anticipated movie “Jailer” not only has Super Star Rajinikanth in the lead, but also boasts a star-studded cast including Shiva Rajkumar, Tamannaah, Sunil, Jackie Shroff, Vasanth Ravi, Vinayakan, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Jaffer Sadiq, G. Marimuthu, Prabhakar, Naga Babu, Sadhu Kokila, Mirnaa Menon, Kishore, Kalaiyarasan, Saravanan, Namo Narayana, and even Neelambari (Ramya Krishnan) and Mohan Lal, who are big names in the Malayalam film industry. The movie’s music is composed by the talented Anirudh Ravichander, who has given some unforgettable music to the Tamil film industry. The 40-second teaser of the movie has already created a buzz among fans, with its stunning visuals and music. While not much has been revealed about the storyline, the teaser has only added to the growing expectation for the movie.
In conclusion, the release of “Jailer” is highly anticipated by Rajinikanth fans, who are hoping that the movie will mark Thalaivar’s successful comeback to the big screen.
