According to Sacnilk figures cited in reports, the film has already collected around Rs 59 crore through advance bookings, indicating strong interest ahead of its release.
Anirudh returns as composer after contributing to the success of the first Jailer, which was released in 2023. At the film’s success meet, Rajinikanth credited Anirudh’s music with elevating the movie. The actor jokingly compared the composer’s contribution to a makeup artist enhancing a bride’s appearance, while describing his own work as only “above average”.
The first Jailer reportedly earned around Rs 650 crore worldwide and became the second Rajinikanth film to cross that mark after 2.0, the sequel to Enthiran.
