Director of Jailer

Nelson Dilipkumar is the director of Jailer. He is known for action thrillers that come with elements like dark humor. The director made his debut with the dark comedy Kolamaavu Kokila, starring Nayanthara in the lead role. The film became a commercial hit at the box office. His next film was Doctor, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role opposite Priyanka Arul Mohan. The film became one of the biggest Tamil-language blockbusters. After that, he directed Thalapathy Vijay’s Beast but it failed to perform well at the box office. Due to this, there were reports that Nelson was replaced to direct Rajinikanth’s Jailer. But the superstar believed in him and reportedly delivered blockbuster content.

Budget of Jailer 

As per Times Of India, Jailer was made on a whopping budget of Rs 225 crores. Rajinikanth reportedly charged a whopping 110 Crores for his role in the film. The star-studded cast like Mohanlal, Tamannaah, and Shivarajkumar were also paid a hefty fee in crores.
