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 Superstar celebrated his brother's 80th birthday together last year, and he has thanked and admired his older sibling on numerous occasions.

However, he has never worked with Rajinikanth before, which makes this collaboration even more exciting for the fans.

He was escorted by his security personnel as he made his way inside. He spent some time with Sarath Babu’s family and offered his sympathies.

Rajinikanth also took to Twitter on Thursday to share a picture and express his honor and privilege of working with the legendary cricketer,

However, he also dropped a bombshell by saying that he heard that this film could be Rajinikanth’s last film before he quits acting for good.

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

‘Thalaivar 170’ is said to be based on a true incident, and Rajinikanth will be seen playing the role of a Muslim police officer in the film. The film is expected to go on floors in May this year.

Few fans took to the core on their disappointment, and began to share their own dedicated fan made posters for their favorite icon.

The film has music composed by Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, who had earlier shared a video of jamming with Aishwarya for the film.
