Jailer 2 Gets Court Shield Against Piracy
14 Oct
Summary
- Madras High Court banned illegal online release of 'Jailer 2'.
- Producers sought ban to prevent financial losses from piracy.
- Rajinikanth's 'Jailer 2' is set for theatrical release on October 15.
Madras High Court has issued a pre-release ban on online piracy for Rajinikanth's highly anticipated film, 'Jailer 2.' The court prohibited the unauthorized release of the movie on illegal websites and digital platforms, a crucial step taken before its global theatrical debut on October 15. This legal protection was sought by the film's producers to curb the rampant issue of films being leaked shortly after their release, which causes substantial financial damage.
The production house, Sun Pictures, petitioned the court after noting that films are often uploaded illegally within 30 minutes of release. They argued that such piracy severely impacts earnings and requested judicial intervention to protect the film's commercial viability. The court's directive ensures that 'Jailer 2' will not be made available illegally online, a move that supports the film industry's persistent fight against piracy.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, 'Jailer 2' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on October 15. The sequel to the 2023 blockbuster boasts an ensemble cast including Suryaj Venjaramoodu, Vijay Sethupathi, Vidya Balan, and SJ Suryah, and is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 300 crore. The legal measures are intended to maximize its theatrical run and secure its box office performance.
