Produced on a massive budget, Jailer’s music has been composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who took Chennai by storm during the event with a fiery live performance. While Vijay Karthik Kannan has handled Jailer’s cinematography, the actioner has been edited by R Nirmal.

Ahead of the event, actor Tamannaah Bhatia, whose captivating dance in Jailer’s global sensation song Kaavaalaa captured everyone’s attention, had said that the Rajinikanth-starrer was an innate Tamil film. “It’s a rooted Tamil film which, hopefully, will reach out to all the audiences in India. Jailer is not a pan-India film. We have made a rooted, true to its region, film,” she stated.

A few days ago, this highly ambitious film had encountered controversy with Malayalam director Sakkir Madathil stepping forward and claiming that he registered the title ‘Jailer’ with the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) in 2021, well before the announcement of the Tamil film’s title.

Sun Pictures has reportedly moved the Madras High Court in this matter and the case has now been posted to August 2 for hearing.
