Having swiftly surpassed the Rs 200-crore milestone in the domestic market within a mere six days, Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer, featuring superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role, is now poised to hit the Rs 400-crore mark at the global box office, positioning itself as one of the biggest releases of the year.

While Rajinikanth’s fans continue their exuberant celebrations of the movie, admirers of Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar are equally elated, stirred by the actor’s impactful cameo appearance in the film, which resonated profoundly nationwide owing to its mass appeal. Despite his character being depicted in only two scenes, Shivarajkumar’s portrayal of Narasimha instantly captured hearts, a testament to the actor’s remarkable ability to seamlessly inhabit his roles.

Opening up about his initial apprehension regarding the audience’s reception of his performance, Shivarajkumar, fondly known as Shivanna among his fans, told Cinema Express that the feedback he received was both heartwarming and humbling. “Since the movie’s release, I’ve experienced a range of emotions. I was anxious about how my performance would be perceived. The audience’s perspective remains a mysterious and unpredictable element.”

“The way people have perceived me since the release of Jailer has been different… it is heartwarming and humbling. I’m thankful for the affection shown for my appearance in Jailer, and I give a significant portion of the credit to director Nelson and, most importantly, the legendary Rajinikanth.”

When questioned about his experience collaborating with stars from various industries in Jailer, Shivanna remarked, “Working with Rajinikanth has truly been a unique experience for me. I have had the chance to meet him in more casual settings, and there exists a special bond that traces back to my younger days.”

“When it comes to Ramya Krishnan, we have previously collaborated on a Kannada film. She exudes brilliance and versatility as an actor, boasting remarkable talent. I haven’t had the opportunity to share screen space with Mohanlal, and even in Jailer, we didn’t have scenes together. But I am absolutely enthusiastic about the prospect of collaborating with him in the future,” he added.

Shivarajkumar also pointed out that his favourite moments in Jailer are the scenes where Rajinikanth is depicted at home, interacting with the family and cherishing tender moments with his grandchild.

“This scene exemplifies Rajinikanth’s unique ability to transcend his superstar persona and portray a genuine, relatable human on screen,” he said.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s pictures from Uttarakhand go viral

While the entire Team Jailer and his fervent fans rejoice in the remarkable triumph of the film, superstar Rajinikanth has distanced himself from the commotion, indulging in a period of spiritual seclusion in the Himalayas.

Rajini’s associate Ra Arjunamurthy has been consistently sharing images and videos of the actor via his social media account. According to the updates, the Jailer actor visited Vyas Cave in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, commemorated Independence Day at Yogoda Satsanga Sakha Ashram in Dwarahat, and engaged in meditation at the cave of Mahavatar Babaji.

Rajini also encountered a young man who embarked on a nearly 55-day journey from Chennai to Uttarakhand to meet him. In addition to offering financial assistance, the superstar also aided the young man in finding suitable accommodation, as he had been sleeping under a tree in the chilly weather.
