Jailer 2 beats 2.0 to become the highest-grossing Tamil film

Jailer 2 achieved a major box office milestone on Sunday when it surpassed the worldwide collection of Rajinikanth's 2.0. The 2018 science-fiction film had earned Rs 691 crore worldwide, holding the record for the highest-grossing Tamil film for eight years.

Before overtaking 2.0, the sequel had already surpassed the lifetime worldwide collections of its predecessor, Jailer, which earned Rs 604 crore, and Vijay's Leo, which collected Rs 605 crore.

Jailer 2 also crossed the Rs 700 crore worldwide mark on Sunday, becoming the first Kollywood film to reach the milestone. It is the seventh South Indian film and the 18th Indian film overall to achieve this feat.

With its worldwide collection now at Rs 733.35 crore, the action drama is closing in on another major milestone. If its theatrical run continues at a steady pace, the film could soon enter the Rs 750 crore club.

Jailer 2: Cast, story and crew

Jailer 2 also marks the reunion of the filmmaker and Rajinikanth after the duo collaborated in the 2023 hit, Jailer. This sequel is a big deal in the superstar's filmography, as he has turned down sequels to many of his successful movies in the past.

In the latest movie, Rajinikanth returns as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, the character who became popular with audiences in the first film. This time, the veteran actor's character faces a new set of antagonists as the story continues.

Produced by Sun Pictures, the film features an ensemble cast that includes SJ Suryah, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu and Mirnaa Menon. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music.

Stay tuned to see how it performs over the second week.
