Jailer was absolutely fire! 650 crores worldwide is no joke. Can't wait for Jailer 2 - hoping Nelson sir delivers another blockbuster. Rajini sir's style is just unmatched 🔥

What a perfect Deepavali gift from Sun Pictures! The chemistry between Nelson and Anirudh looks amazing. Rajini sir giving suggestions on shots shows why he's the ultimate superstar - experience matters!

As someone relatively new to Indian cinema, I'm amazed by Rajinikanth's star power. The way fans gather outside his home shows incredible devotion. Looking forward to watching Jailer 2!

While I'm excited for Jailer 2, I hope they maintain the same quality as part 1. Sometimes sequels don't live up to expectations. But with Rajini sir involved, I'm sure it will be good!

Kavya N

The multi-star cast in Jailer was brilliant! Hope they bring back Mohan Lal and Shiva Rajkumar for part 2. Their cameos were epic! Wishing the entire team success 🙏
