After the underperformance of Coolie, Rajinikanth is all set to make a roaring comeback with Jailer 2. The upcoming Tamil magnum opus is an event film and is already having fun with crazy buzz. A couple of days ago, the film\u2019s final schedule wrapped up, and reports suggest it’s going to arrive in theaters in August 2026. Amid this, one hot update is coming from the Telugu trade circle, and it\u2019s concerning the Telugu-dubbed rights of the film.<\/p>\n
Rajini enjoys a powerful fan following within the Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), and over time, his movies have performed very well there. Because the business potential of his movies continued to rise, the makers\u2019 asking price rose as well. Talking concerning the superstar\u2019s last release, Coolie, the Telugu theatrical rights were sold at 53 crore<\/strong>, a record price for a Tamil film. Now, his next is more likely to be sold at a much higher price.<\/p>\n Considering Rajinikanth\u2019s presence and the solid success of the predecessor, the makers of Jailer 2 are quoting a whopping 60 crore<\/strong> for Telugu theatrical rights. Up to now, no distributor has come on board and agreed to pay such an enormous sum. With enough time left before the film\u2019s release, negotiations are more likely to happen. It\u2019ll be interesting to see whether the makers stick with their quoted price.<\/p>\n For many who aren\u2019t aware, Coolie underperformed within the Telugu states and failed to realize breakeven. It earned around 70 crore<\/strong> gross within the Telugu states, which was considered below par. On account of such performance of Coolie, distributors might hesitate to shed 60 crore for Jailer 2. Nevertheless, the upcoming Kollywood biggie has a significant plus in its favor: the sequel factor.<\/p>\n Jailer grossed 81.22 crore<\/strong> within the Telugu states, and even with decent word of mouth, Jailer 2 can easily cross this number and will go well above the 100 crore mark. So, even when renegotiations happen, the Jailer sequel is most certainly to secure a better price than Coolie did, thereby setting a record deal for Telugu rights to a Tamil film.<\/p>\n Stay tuned to Koimoi for more entertainment updates of South Indian cinema!<\/p>\n Must Read:<\/strong> Thalapathy Vijay Net Value 2026: How Wealthy Is The Tamil Superstar \u2013 Fees Per Film, Investments, Assets & More<\/p>\n Follow Us:<\/strong> Facebook<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | YouTube<\/a> | Google News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nJailer 2 to secure 7 crore greater than Coolie for its Telugu rights?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
