Jailer is Rajinikanth's 169th film. The poster that was released to announced the title of the film featured a blood-soaked meat cleaver hanged to a chain, that too, what looked like an abandoned factory. Going by the poster, it looks like there will be high-octane action sequences in the film. When Superstar recently returned to Chennai and the media asked about the update about the film, all he said was, "shooting". The first schedule has already begun in Chennai and a grand set has been erected for the same. Rajinikanth is expected to join the sets soon. The team is then likely to move to Hyderabad for their next schedule.

The team boasts an ensemble cast which includes Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar, Vasanth Ravi, Redin Kingsley and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, though the presence of latter is yet to be confirmed. Music for the film will be Anirudh Ravichander. Cinematography will be handled by Vijay Karthik Kannan of Doctor fame. The film is said to be a mass commercial potboiler. Jailer will be bankrolled by Sun Pictures, who had also produced his previous outing Annaatthe. On the other hand, Nelson's last project was Beast which had Vijay playing the lead.
