Superstar Rajnikanth is gearing up for his upcoming high-octane Tamil-language action thriller film ‘Jailer’, in which he plays a retired policeman and jailer who is out to stop a big gang, keeping his family safe all the while.
In a new poster of the movie, the Superstar and Shiva Rajkumar look intense in a single black and white frame.
The movie’s poster came out on Sun Picture’s ‘X’ handle with the caption: “Superstar – Shivanna. Get ready to watch them together for the first time. 4 more days to go for #Jailer.”
Rajnikanth had gone on full “Kabaali” mode in the trailer for “Jailer” where he still plays an all out juggernaught who just cannot be underestimated, dishing out damage to criminals left and right while this massive criminal enterprise is left in shock, anger and hate.
Here is the new #JailerPromo1

After Rajinikanth kills a person at home and the body falls on the lap of his wife and daughter, Ramya Krishnan, who plays his wife, asks: “Why don’t we stop everything after this point?” Rajinikanth replies with a sinister smile: “I went too far. I can only return when I’m done with everything.”
Shiva Rajkumar plays Narasimha in the film while Mohanlal will essay the role of Mathew, though what role their characters will play is kept deliberately hidden.
Much is being anticipated of “Jailer” as it is the only other movie in India currently for which expectations are almost as high as “Gadar 2” starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel.
While the movie has a very strong competitor, the face of Rajnikanth coupled with the growing popularity of South Indian movies in other parts of India is a great guarantor of success.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer stars Ramya Krishnan, Jackie Shroff, Vinayakan, Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Sunil, Mirna Menon and Tamannaah
“Jailer” will hit theaters on August 10.
