Jailer, a gripping action thriller from India, emerged in 2023 as a standout cinematic creation.

The skilled hands of director Nelson Dilipkumar and the production prowess of Kalanithi Maran birthed this masterpiece under the Sun Pictures banner. At its heart, the film features the legendary Rajinikanth, who takes on the lead role with his signature charisma. Alongside him, a talented ensemble cast including Vinayakan, Ramya Krishnan, Vasanth Ravi, Sunil, Mirnaa Menon, and Yogi Babu plays their supporting parts with finesse.

This cinematic venture, known initially as Thalaivar 169 during its February 2022 announcement, marked Rajinikanth's 169th film. However, it later donned the moniker 'Jailer,' a title revealed in June. The journey from conception to completion was a year-long process, commencing its visual tale in August 2022 amidst the vibrant backdrop of Chennai. Drawing the curtains on filming in June 2023, the project was captured through the lenses of cinematographer Vijay Kartik Kannan and shaped in the hands of editor R. Nirmal.
