Jailer 2 Telugu Rights: 60 Crore Demanded!
4 May
Summary
- Jailer 2's Telugu rights are priced at a record 60 crore.
- Coolie's Telugu rights sold for 53 crore, underperforming.
- Jailer earned 81.22 crore in Telugu states, hinting potential.
The Telugu theatrical rights for Rajinikanth's highly anticipated film, Jailer 2, are being quoted at a staggering 60 crore. This ambitious price point reflects the superstar's significant box office pull in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Although Rajinikanth's recent film, Coolie, saw its Telugu rights sold for a record 53 crore, it ultimately underperformed, failing to break even. This performance might cause distributors to hesitate in meeting Jailer 2's elevated asking price.
However, the sequel factor and the immense success of the original Jailer, which grossed 81.22 crore in the Telugu states, provide strong justification for the high valuation. With a projected August 2026 release, negotiations are ongoing, and the final deal is expected to set a new record for Tamil film rights in the region.
