What is the story about?
Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 has made its digital debut on Amazon Prime Video amid its Rs 800 crore blockbuster run. However, fans hoping to watch additional
footage featuring Vijay Sethupathi and Santhanam may be disappointed. Despite speculation about an extended version featuring scenes that did not make it to the theatrical cut, the streaming release does not include any such additions. The film has arrived on the platform with its original theatrical runtime intact. The Nelson Dilipkumar directorial, which enjoyed a successful box-office run, is now available for audiences who missed its big-screen release or wish to revisit the action drama.
Jailer 2 OTT Version Does Not Include Deleted Scenes
Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 began streaming on Amazon Prime Video on November 12, 2026, following its theatrical release on October 15. The digital version has a runtime of 2 hours and 43 minutes, matching the theatrical cut. This means viewers will not find an extended version or additional sequences in the OTT release.
There had been speculation about whether the streaming premiere would feature footage removed during the film's theatrical edit. Santhanam, who appeared in the film's shoot completion pics, was absent from the final version. His reunion with Rajinikanth was among the portions fans had hoped to see.
Vijay Sethupathi's scenes were reportedly trimmed during the theatrical edit, while some portions featuring Mohanlal were also removed, disappointing fans. However, neither actor's deleted footage has been included in the OTT version. Those hoping to watch the missing sequences will have to wait for a possible separate release by the makers.
