Directed by S Shankar, 2.0 was a sequel to the 2010 blockbuster Enthiran which also starred Rajinikanth. 2.0 was released in 2018. Jailer is Rajinikanth first theatrical release in two years. His last film Annaatthe was released in 2021.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer features Rajinikanth as a retired police officer. The film also features Ramya Krishnan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Mohanlal (in a special appearance), Jackie Shroff, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi, and Shivarajkumar.

On Sunday, the makers shared a video of the trailer being played on the Las Vegas Strip (or Las Vegas Boulevard).

The text attached to the post read, “Announcing in the Las Vegas strip that Jailer crosses more than 5 million US dollars in the USA box office. Tiger Muthuvel Pandian is unstoppable!"

The makers of Jailer had also revealed that the song "Hukum" from the film has become the “first-ever South Indian song to become No.1 on Spotify in India!”

"Hukum"has been sung by Anirudh Ravichander with lyrics by Super Subu.

WION's Siddharth MP called Jailer an entertaining film which serves 'vintage Rajini' to his fans. "The last few films of Rajinikanth have not had a great deal of impact and response, even among his fans. Nelson delivers a film that would (after a long time) have all Rajini fans in agreement about how they've got what they expected. In many ways, Jailer brings Rajini to the fore, yet again, just like how the film Vikram had done for Kamal Haasan." wrote Siddharth in his review.
