Just as fans were still reeling from the buzz around the teaser of Allu Arjun and Atlee’s upcoming biggie, Sun Pictures has once again stolen the spotlight—this time with Jailer 2. The renowned production house, already known for backing high-stakes cinema, is creating ripples in the industry with the jaw-dropping figures it’s quoting for Superstar Rajinikanth’s sequel.

After the original Jailer exploded at the box office—especially in Tamil and Telugu markets—expectations for the sequel are sky-high. Though the first film had a modest opening day, it picked up steam with stellar word-of-mouth, eventually raking in over ₹100 crore and cementing itself as a blockbuster.

Riding that wave of success, a prominent Tollywood production company reportedly approached Sun Pictures with a whopping ₹60 crore offer for the Telugu theatrical rights of Jailer 2. But Sun Pictures wasn’t swayed. The offer was politely turned down, with insiders suggesting the makers are holding out for a much higher price. They’re confident that the sequel has the potential to surpass the original by a significant margin.

Interestingly, the Telugu buyer chose to back out, reportedly referencing previous high-profile films like 2.0—another Rajinikanth starrer that, despite its massive hype and budget, fell short of expectations in some markets. Still, the anticipation around Jailer 2 is building fast, and Sun Pictures appears to be in no hurry to settle.

With Rajinikanth set to return in a powerful new avatar, the stakes are as high as ever. Whether or not Sun Pictures seals the record-breaking deal they’re aiming for, one thing is certain—they know they’re sitting on cinematic gold. Now, the big question remains: who’s ready to step up and match their ask?
