Earlier, Rajinikanth starrer Annaatthe, directed by Siruthai Siva, which was released last year for Deepavali, received mixed reviews. Similarly, director Nelson Dilipkumar’s last film ‘Beast’ starring actor Vijay had also received average reviews. Thus, it is being said that Rajinikanth and Nelson are busy with the idea of making the movie Jailer success.
Moreover, in April, speculations were rife that Rajinikanth has decided to opt out of Nelson Dilipkumar’s new project as he was unhappy with the latter’s work in ‘Beast’. In contrast to the rumors, the entire writing part was handled by Nelson.
