Jailer 2, scheduled to release on October 15, has stirred up business discussions. The news that makers are demanding 55 crores for AP and Telangana rights has become a hot topic in the industry. Producer Naga Vamsi has come down to 45 crores, and with such a big difference remaining, discussions have not yet reached a conclusion. Even though there are other distributors in the race, due to past experience, there might not be quick decision-making situations.
The Jailer 2 Factor and Audience Pull
Jailer has an extraordinary following among telugu audiences. That is true. We cannot easily guarantee such recovery. If unanimous talk happens, superstar Rajinikanth will pull the entire collection in first week. There is no doubt about that. But here there are some things we need to look at from all angles.
Ranabaali & Aadarsha Kutumbam AK 47 Creates Direct Competition
Aadarsha Kutumbam AK 47 will come exactly one week before, which means October 9. They mentioned the second date in the teaser but there are high chances it might change. This is a key project for Naga Vamsi under his banner. If Venkatesh film gets positive talk, it will at least stand strong at the box office for two to three weeks. Theater agreements should be made accordingly.
Vijay Deverakonda’s Ranubaali will release the very next day after Jailer 2, If the word doesn’t fail, the competition will get tough. This is a period drama. The film is producer by Mythri Movie Makers and makers is taking it very seriously at nizam release. Among these, there is a Sree Vishnu Comrade Kalyan. His mark of comedy will boost film at box office and should not be casually underestimated either.
Jailer 2’s Strengths and Expectations
Looking at it practically, Jailer 2 does have challenges for us. Director Nelson Dilip Kumar has been getting positive talks from Chennai circles about his taking. The team especially feels that bringing Hrithik Roshan for a cameo will be a big plus in the Hindi belts. Against the backdrop of the special song shot on Poonam already creating a reach, movie lovers are waiting for the subsequent songs composed by Anirudh Ravichander and the background score to be at blockbuster levels.
