Jailer is produced by Kalanithi Maran under his banner Sun Pictures, which has previously bankrolled Rajinikanth’s blockbuster films like Enthiran, Petta and Annaatthe.

The music of Jailer is composed by Anirudh, who has earlier collaborated with Rajinikanth in Petta and Darbar.

The official title Jailer was revealed in June later along with the first look poster which introduced Rajinikanth as Muthuvel Pandian, a jailer.

The film is said to be a thriller dark comedy with Rajinikanth playing the role of Muthuvel Pandian, a jailer who has to deal with a gang that tries to rescue their leader from the prison.

He said it was an honor to share the screen with Rajinikanth and was impressed by the actor's professionalism and modesty on set.

Fans of Rajinikanth, who haven't heard anything about the film since the cast was announced, are in for a real treat.

And he is expected to create a retro-inspired soundtrack that perfectly captures the mood of the film.

The movie has already generated a lot of buzz among Rajini fans and moviebuffs alike, and the latest leak about the film's characters has only added to the excitement.

In an interesting twist, Mohanlal's first directorial effort, titled Barroz, is currently wrapping up post-production and is set for a summer release.

Although TJ Gnanavel and Pradeep Ranganathan's names have been mentioned, the most recent rumour came as a complete shocker to the movielovers.
