Rajinikanth Shares Jailer Review For FIRST TIME, Says ‘It Was Average…’ – News18

Rajinikanth starrer Jailer has broken several records at the box office by collecting more than Rs 600 crores worldwide. It has become one of the highest grossing Tamil films ever and also earned Rajinikanth the title of the highest-paid actor in Indian cinema. Recently, the cast and crew of Jailer gathered to celebrate the success of the movie.

During his speech at the success meet, as per a report by Galatta.com, Rajinikanth said that he felt Jailer was “average”. “I watched Jailer final cut before re-recording. I felt it was average then, but it was Anirudh who lifted up the film with his background score,” the actor reportedly said.

A few days back, Jailer producer Kalanithi Maran met Rajinikanth and handed over a hefty cheque to the actor. Interestingly, film trade expert Manobala Vijayabalan shared on X: “Info coming in that, the envelope handed over by Kalanithi Maran to superstar Rajinikanth contains a single cheque amounting Rs 100 crore from City Union Bank, Mandaveli branch, Chennai. This is a Jailer profit sharing cheque which is up and above the already paid remuneration [Rs 110 cr] of superstar for the movie. Total – Rs 210 crore. Making superstar Rajinikanth the highest paid actor in India.” (sic)
