Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer’ was released on August 10, and the film went on to become one of the highest grossing Tamil films ever. Not just t🧸hat, the film has crossed several 🎐box office records along the way.
Recently, the film’s cast and crew celebratꦛed its success, and during his speech, Rajinikanth said he felt that the 'film ✅was average before the re-recording was done'. He added that it was Anirudh Ravichander’s music that made the movie a blockbuster.
“I watched the film first without re-recording. I then asked Sembian sir and Kannan sir about their opinions on the film. Kannan was all praise. I told him, 'Nelson is your friend and you will obviously appreciate him.' I then asked Sembian and he said the film was average. But, the film before the re-recording was done, was average to me too. However, the manner in which Anirudh lifted the ✤film was, 'My God'. He transformed Jailer almost like a brid🅺e-to-be after makeup. Superb,” Rajinikanth said, as reported by Galatta.com.
The veteran actor even praised the technicians who worked on ‘Jailer’, as he 'didn't expect him to add such an effect to the film'. He even mentioned how the editor Nirmal took the film 'and fille💟d it up completely, the🐓 effect was superb'.
Post his speech, a video of it was shared on YouTube by the makers. Reacting to it, a social me🍎dia user wrote, "He has never hesitated to talk about what he feels. Such a gem of a quality. Name someone in the in🌃dustry who said in his ₹600 crore plus movie's success that my movie was above average." Another one commented, "What a speech, what a man, so down to earth. The one and only."
However, some were not happy about the actor’s statement. One wrote, "Movie is totally awesome. Nelson has totally justified the superstar Rajinikanth image. In north India also people went totally berꦐserk watching the movie. Rajinikanth should respect that and not question the film." Another one commented, "Rajinikanth should know that only music cannot make a film succes🐽sful. His comment can negatively impact the confidence of the director and team."
The actor, meanwhile, had also said during the success meet that when this film became a ไhit, he was🔯 happy only for five days. “After those five days, I started getting tense about my next film and how to make it an even bigger hit since there will be higher expectations now. Really I'm telling you, I'm under a lot of tension about my next film and I don't know what to do.”
As for ‘Jailer’, t🃏he film has grossed more than ₹650 crore worldwide, becoming the second fastest Tamil movie to enter the ₹600 crore club after ‘2.0’, whi💧ch was released in 2018.
