Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to delight his fans on Makar Sankranti with two exclusive promos of the much-awaited sequel, Jailer 2. Senior trade analyst Ramesh Bala confirmed the news, sharing that the promos will be released online as well as in select theaters.
Ramesh Bala told ETimes, “Apart from online release, they are also doing it in theaters by showing it to fans who can book their tickets for a minimal amount.”
He further elaborated, “There are two promos, and that will last for 15 minutes but will be done in select cinemas only.” The unique initiative is expected to create a buzz among fans and set the stage for the sequel’s production.
Speaking about the trend of showcasing trailers and teasers, Bala added, “Showing trailers and teasers is a norm and keeps happening with all big films.”
The first installment, Jailer, was a massive hit, and expectations for the sequel are sky-high. Fans are particularly excited to see the roles of Mohanlal and others becoming meatier in the upcoming film.
However, it has been learned that the full-fledged shooting of Jailer 2 will commence only after the release of Rajinikanth’s next project, Coolie.
Meanwhile, to celebrate the iconic film Baashha completing 30 years of its release and to mark Sathya Movies’s 60th golden jubilee along with Superstar Rajinikanth’s 50th year on screen, the makers of the film have now decided to re-release it. The re-released version will boast of grand technical brilliance with cutting edge 4k enhancements and dolby atmos surround sound.
Baashha is a gangster story that changed the style of commercial action films in Indian cinema. One of Rajinikanth’s dialogues in the film, “Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna mathiri” (What I say once is like saying it a 100 times) went on to win the hearts of fans and admirers and has since been extensively used by many on various platforms and in varied forms. The film, apart from Rajinikanth and Nagma, also stars the late actor Raghuvaran, Charanraj, Anandraj, Janagaraj, Vijayakumar, and Yuvarani among others.
Released 30 years ago in 1995, the film was a huge success as the biggest blockbuster in Superstar Rajinikanth’s film career. The film, which ran successfully in theatres for 15 months across India, was remade in many languages.
