Fans expecting additional footage featuring Mohanlal and Santhanam in Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 may be disappointed. The film’s digital premiere on Amazon Prime Video has retained the theatrical cut, with no extended scenes added to the streaming version.
Jailer 2 began streaming on November 12, four weeks after its theatrical release. Viewers hoping for an extended version will instead find the same cut that was screened in cinemas. The OTT version has a runtime of 2 hours and 43 minutes.
Speculation about deleted scenes had gathered momentum ahead of the digital premiere. Fans were particularly interested in seeing more of Mohanlal’s portions, while Santhanam’s scenes had also attracted attention amid reports that some footage was trimmed during editing.
However, neither actor features in any additional footage in the streaming version. Fans hoping to watch the unseen material will have to wait and see whether the makers decide to release deleted scenes separately.
The four-week gap between the theatrical and digital releases is reportedly part of the agreement between the film’s producers and Amazon Prime Video.
Meanwhile, Nelson Dilipkumar’s directorial venture has reportedly crossed Rs 825 crore in worldwide gross collections. According to Sacnilk figures cited in reports, its India gross stands at Rs 548.80 crore, while overseas collections are estimated at Rs 276.75 crore.
Produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 features Rajinikanth alongside Ramya Krishnan, Mohanlal, Mirnaa, Shiva Rajkumar, Hrithik Roshan, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty and SJ Suryah, among others. The film’s music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
