Superstar Rajinikanth’s 'Jailer 2' has crossed the ₹700-crore mark worldwide within 11 days of its release, emerging as one of the biggest commercial successes in Tamil cinema. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures, the action sequel has reportedly grossed ₹710.35 crore globally, according to box-office trade estimates.

With this achievement, 'Jailer 2' has reportedly surpassed Rajinikanth’s '2.0', which grossed around ₹691 crore worldwide, to become the highest-grossing Tamil film worldwide. It is the second Tamil film to enter the ₹700-crore club, underlining the superstar’s continued box-office appeal.

In Kerala, 'Jailer 2' has reportedly overtaken 'Leo' to become the highest-grossing Tamil film in the state. However, it is still chasing the benchmark set by 'Baahubali 2', which collected approximately ₹75.20 crore there.
