Jailer success meet: Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar reunite for celebration

Superstar Rajinikanth's latest movie Jailer has become the second biggest earner globally in the history of Tamil cinema. To mark this remarkable achievement, the producers threw a huge celebration, which saw the participation of the movie's main cast and crew. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and Kannada superstar Shivrajkumar took part in the event which was held in Chennai on Sunday.

A big hit for Rajinikanth

Jailer gave Rajinikanth a huge hit after a long gap. The last time his movie crossed Rs 600 in global ticket sales was 2.0, which was written and directed by Shankar. The sequel to the 2010 Enthiran remains the biggest Tamil hit globally with over Rs 650 crore box office earnings.

According to reports, the distributors' profit share in Tamil Nadu alone is pegged at Rs 100 crore.
