Jailer is Rajinikanth's 169th movie and is bankrolled by Kalanithi Maran under his banner Sun Pictures.

Rajinikanth is said to be playing the titular role of a jailer. Reports are rife that the film also features Aishwarya Rai and Shiva Rajkumar.

Notably, it is the first time that Rajinikanth has met Governor RN Ravi privately. The superstar said that the meeting with the Governor was a courtesy call.

What has attracted swift attention is an update from the Superstar himself who revealed the date of when the movie shooting will commence.

71-year-old Rajinikanth is now in the outing with Nelson Dilipkumar for the first time as he shelves the 169th movie of his illustrious career.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be inaugurating the event at 6 pm on Thursday and he said he is all geared up to participate in the inauguration event of the world's iconic chess tournament. 

On behalf of Rajinikanth, his elder daughter Aishwaryaa has received the award from Tamilisai Soundararajan, the Governor of Telangana and Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry.

While the Tamil movie 'Soorarai Pottru' has won the award of Best Feature Film, Suriya, who played the lead role in the movie, has won the award for the Best Actor along with Bollywood's Ajay Devgn.

That big compliment is from Superstar Rajinikanth and interestingly, the legendary actor has called Parthiban to his home and appreciated the movie. 

Kollywood buzz says Kiara Advani or Samantha is to play the female lead in Maaveeran and Mysskin is said to play the antagonist in this film, but not yet officially reported.
