Rajinikanth is currently in the final stages of his upcoming film Jailer 2. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the movie is a sequel to the 2023 blockbuster action drama Jailer. Now, it appears that the makers may have locked in a massive OTT deal.
Did Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 lock in an OTT deal worth Rs 160 crore?
According to a report by Lets Cinema, Jailer 2 is expected to have secured a deal worth Rs 160 crore with Amazon Prime Video. The report suggests that the streaming rights were finalized a few weeks ago, with significant interest from digital platforms for exclusive rights.
However, this remains unconfirmed, as the makers have not made any official announcement. Reports also indicate that the first installment, Jailer, secured a deal worth Rs 75 crore in 2023. More recently, Coolie was reportedly acquired for Rs 120 crore. If these figures are accurate, Jailer 2 marks a significant jump in OTT valuation.
