Fans took to the comments section to ask if Jailer would also be a single location film, like Nelson’s last outing Beast, which was predominantly shot inside a mall. Fans wondered if Jailer would be ‘filmed completely inside a prison’. One Twitter user wrote, “Nelson is taking up another biggest task of handling a star in a single location/major portions to be shot in single location… Let #Jailer have a strong villain to fight.”

Rajinikanth was last seen in the Tamil film Annaatthe. The movie, which was also produced by Sun Pictures, featured actors Keerthy Suresh, Nayanthara, Khushbhu Sundar, Meena, and Jagapathi Babu.

After the release of Annaatthe, Rajinikanth, in a post via voice-based social media platform Hoote, spoke about how Annaatthe was signed.The film is directed by Siva, who had collaborated with Rajinikanth for the first time. It was after seeing Siva’s film Viswasam that Rajinikanth said he wanted to work with the filmmaker.
