Generally, production houses actively post box-office numbers from day one to keep a film in the headlines. This practice is quite common for star-led films. However, the makers of Jailer 2 have kept mum so far, which both frustrated and surprised fans.
The makers finally shared the collection poster today, stating that Jailer 2 earned over Rs. 549 crores in its first week, the highest ever for a Tamil film (week 1). Jailer 2 is expected to cross 2.0 and emerge as the new industry hit of Kollywood very soon.
Interestingly, the trade estimates for Jailer 2 turned out to be higher than the official figure. Produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 also features Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Mithun Chakraborty, Ramya Krishnan, and Namo Narayana in vital roles. Anirudh composed the tunes.
The record maker and the record breaker!😎
