Jailer 2 Advance Booking Nears Rs 30 Crore
Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 is approaching Rs 30 crore in worldwide opening-day advance bookings ahead of its October 15, 2026 theatrical release. Overseas pre-sales have crossed Rs 20 crore, driving much of the early momentum. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the sequel brings Rajinikanth back as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian following the success of Jailer in 2023. With additional cinemas and shows expected to open for reservations, ticket sales could increase further before release. These figures represent advance bookings rather than completed opening-day box-office collections.
